One night he escapes through a gap in the fence and sets off on an epic journey, first confidently heading in entirely the wrong direction and landing at the North Pole with a bemused polar bear! With help from a well-travelled Arctic tern, Jonty swims on through oceans full of seals, swordfish and whales until, at last, he reaches Antarctica and a \"heart-warming huddle of gorgeous gentoos\" just like him. Written in Julia Donaldson's trademark rhyme and brought to life with Axel Scheffler's witty, detailed illustrations, it's a heart-warming tale of courage, friendship and finding where you belong, with gentle facts about polar wildlife and migration woven in throughout the story.\n\nStick Man: The Present Hunt turns the nation's favourite Stick Man into Santa's most determined helper. When the Christmas presents mysteriously go missing, it's up to Stick Man to track them down, and young readers can join the search by lifting the sturdy card flaps hidden on every colourful page. It's a jolly, hands-on Christmas story built especially for small hands, packed with rich, detailed artwork and plenty of hidden surprises to spot along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo much-loved Julia Donaldson stories in one great-value set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInteractive lift-the-flap fun in Stick Man: The Present Hunt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRhyming, read-aloud text perfect for bedtime and storytime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSturdy hardback and durable board book formats for little hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA fun introduction to polar animals and Christmas cheer alike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA ready-made gift set for birthdays or Christmas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJulia Donaldson is one of the best-loved children's authors of her generation, famed for modern classics including The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom and the original Stick Man.
