In this delightful board book built on word play, toddlers will recognise each activity—getting dressed, playing, painting (including themselves), having a bath—and see how the animal makes the mischievous most of it.

The bumblebee breaks its toy— bumblebee grumblebee! The cockatoo is getting dressed— cockatoo sockatoo! The pelican tries out the potty— pelican smellican! What will turtle do? Everybody gathers for the final squirtle. Each scene twists the animals’ names into funny new words to share and delight in how they feel and sound. Bumblebee Grumblebee is for toddlers and adults to have fun experimenting with the way words are put together.
