A new edition of an outstanding picture book by one of the most popular of all contemporary author/illustrators.

On Thursday morning at a quarter past ten, Joseph Kaye notices something odd about the kettle... Thus begins a remarkable day for Joseph, a day in which everything seems to change in the most peculiar of ways. The washbasin grows feet, the armchair becomes a gorilla, his bicycle wheel turns into an apple.

Joseph's father had said when he'd left that morning that everything was going to change. But what had he meant? The book explores the boy's state of mind as he prepares for the return of his parents with his new baby sister.

Changes is a captivating portrayal of curiosity and transformation, celebrated in Anthony Browne's signature style.
