The Frumpling

A fresh and irresistible read-aloud tale of friendship from the creators of The Terrakeet

The Frumpling lived a lonely life, this book will tell you why.
He smelled and looked so squaffy, every beast just walked on by.

Except for one . . .

When the bossy Poppletort instructs the Frumpling to clean himself up, it takes a whole day. But then all he'll have to wear again are his old smelly clothes. The beasts of Pontin Poole feel terrible for turning their noses up at him for so long and come together to donate bright clothes, scarves and bangles, even shiny rings. When the Frumpling emerges from his bath, everyone is mesmerised by his new look!

An endearing tale of help from unlikely friends . . . and the transformative power of a good wash!
