In The Deeper than Average Hole, Smorla must figure out how to rescue her friend, but despite her best efforts, Torla remains resolutely stuck.How will Smorla get her out?! Featuring two stronger-than-average elephants, one hairier-than-average gorilla, and a BIG surprise, this book is packed with uproarious deadpan humour that will have kids and grown-ups giggling as they turn the pages.
Beyond the laughs, The Deeper than Average Hole teaches children the importance of persistence and helping others as Smorla works tirelessly to save her friend Torla from a tricky situation. This lovable series will get children thinking about the world around them in a fun and engaging way.
This is the second book in a laugh-out-loud series by Kes Gray, with bright and witty illustrations from award-winning artist Chris Jevons. Designed in a unique, narrowed portrait format to emphasise the giraffes' height and the hole's depth, this playful picture book includes four gatefolds, offering a special and interactive reading experience that actively engages children.
At times whimsical and at others hilarious, this series by Kes Gray follows Torla and Smorla on their extraordinary adventures. Their love and trust take their unlikely friendship to exciting new heights.
