A great rhyming read-aloud story with a twist: it never ends!

One day, a monkey is happily eating a banana when he sees a tiger. Off he runs through the forest, dodging perils until he reaches safety at the end of the book by running up a tree. That's when the fun really starts... as readers can then turn the book upside down and watch Monkey swinging through the trees back through the book, chasing a lizard (and narrowly avoiding a hungry snake), before going back down a tree on page 1 to take us back to the beginning again. This funny, rhyming cat-and-mouse tale has an innovative twist that children will love - it never ends!

Off They Run offers:

  • Two stories in one book - turn the book upside down when you get to the end to discover another story
  • A never-ending reading experience that will keep kids coming back again and again
  • Funny animal characters and bright, colourful art
  • Illustrated by Rob Hodgson, a BookTrust Time to Read author-illustrator
  • Great rhyme makes this a perfect bedtime read for children aged 3 and up

About the Author

Rob Hodgson was born in a seaside town in the south of England in 1988. He studied illustration at Plymouth University. Today he lives in Bristol where he spends his days making a mess and turning it into quality illustration projects and books. His books have been translated into a dozen languages and his first author/illustrated book, The Cave, was chosen by Book Trust to be given free to every preschool-aged child in England. Some interests include animals, skateboards, the psychology of perception, and collecting strange toys.
