But what is the PLOP? And where does it hide? Open the book and look inside . . .

In Eric's house there were too many elephants – in the living room, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, even in his bedroom!

The elephants take up a lot of space, but Eric loves every one of them. So when his mum says they have to go, Eric comes up with a clever solution to a very BIG problem . . .

From the creators of The Terrible Plop comes this delightfully energetic story, full of fun and exuberance...

Here is the story
Of the Terrible PLOP,
With a bear and a rabbit
And a hop hop hop.

But what is the PLOP?
And where does it hide?
Open the book
And look inside . . .

This beautiful full-colour book is a compilation of Honey and Bear and Special Days with Honey and Bear , reproduced in a B format. The ten short stories are exquisitely illustrated by the talented Ron Brooks, and each capture a small moment in the lives of these animal friends.

 Becky has reached the point in her swimming lessons when she has stopped being a Frog and has moved up to be a Platypus. She has to go into the deep end, and she's not at all sure that she's ready for it. She wishes she could be a Frog for just a little while longer.

There are two in the bed . . .
Mum and Dad are slumbering,
snoring, rumbling,
tucked up cosily and peacefully in bed . . .

Until a scary storm outside brings everyone into Mum and Dad's bed, one by one,.   Will they ever get a good night's sleep?
