Book Description by Author:

Where is Lamby? is an interactive rhyming picture book with a classic lost-and-found theme that both parents and children alike can relate to. The story is about a young girl called Bea who loves her Lamby teddy bear so much that she takes her everywhere. This time, they are going on an exciting adventure to the seaside.

 

Join Bea and Lamby as they travel by train, visit a castle and go to the beach. The trouble is… things don’t always go to plan. Lamby goes missing and Bea is very sad. As the story unfolds, it seems Lamby might be lost forever.

 

Will she be reunited with her best friend in the world?

 

A wonderful adventure about loss and the importance of friendship!
