Description
If you love Oi Frog and Friends, you'll adore this madcap animal alphabet story, guaranteed to get kids giggling – and learning!
Dog’s looking for animals to star in her new alphabet book. But she doesn't want 'ordinary animals'. No cats, dogs or lions. She's looking for animals who are different. Animals who are special. Animals who have…the ABC Factor.
Stick Insect is sure he has got the ABC factor – but will Dog and her fellow judges agree?
From anacondas and aye-ayes to manatees, lemmings and naked mole rats, only the weirdest and most wonderful animals need apply.
Britain’s Got Talent meets Oi Frog – perfect for anyone who loves hilarious picture books and TV talent shows from Strictly to X Factor!
Winner of the Hampshire Picture Book Prize!
