A zany bunch of pals succumb to wanderlust – and get more than they bargained for. Mavis and Marge are different from other animals. They want to go a-wandering. Over the hills, across the sea, and up to the moon they go, gathering a band of free-range friends on the way. But, suddenly, from across the milky way, home has a distant allure...

A big hit!
We gave this book to my daughter's childcare for Christmas and it's proved to be a big hit, inspiring artwork and numerous storytelling sessions (with their teacher giving their own Spanish/Catalan version) about Marge and Mavis' travels away from the farm and the animals they meet. The illustrations are colourful and eye-catching, and the text is fun and easy (and fun) to read!
