Description
The winning illustrations of the 2024 Storylines Gavin Bishop Award combine with a fun, quirky story by Kyle Mewburn to create an unforgettable gem of a picture book!
A picture book bursting with fun by Storylines Gavin Bishop Award winner Kaye Julian and leading New Zealand author Kyle Mewburn.
HONK! HONK! TOOT! TOOT!
Where are you racing off to, Hugo? And why is there an enormous traffic jam?
With a huff, a puff, a whoosh, and a swerve, on Hugo's dash to his destination, he zips and zooms past all sorts of vehicles in a muddle. Full of energy and zest, with lots of details to spot, this story romps along to its very funny ending.
Talented Storylines Gavin Bishop Award recipient Kaye Julian's illustrations are a perfect match for award-winning author Kyle Mewburn's joyous story in Go, Scooter, Go!
