Bumble and Snug and the Angry Pirates 

Mark Bradley

Waterstones Says

Ideal for fans of Dog Man and Bunny vs Monkey, Bradley's freewheeling, superbly silly graphic novel also teaches young readers important lessons about friendship and controlling your frustrations, all wrapped up in a story of two loveable Bugbops attempting to evade a horde of mad marauders.

Shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize Younger Readers Prize 2022

Best friends Bumble and Snug are Bugbops - little monsters filled with BIG feelings! In this full-colour graphic novel, join them on a funny, imaginative adventure with some VERY angry pirates, learning about the world outside and inside along the way.

Bumble and Snug are going on a big adventure to... have a picnic! But when they accidentally get lost, they're both cross - is their adventure ruined?

Working together to find their way home, Bumble and Snug come across a pirate treasure horde. But taking treasure that isn't yours is a good way to get into trouble, and sure enough some VERY angry pirates aren't far behind.

Bumble and Snug are certain they can replace the treasure, and fix things to make everybody happy. But there's another monstrous obstacle in store - and this one has TENTACLES.

Bumble and Snug and the Angry Pirates is a story about being cross and how to listen, friendship and sandcastles, and one GIANT octopus!

Perfect for readers just starting to enjoy stories independently, for visual readers and for wise kids to share with their grown-ups.
