A string of paper dolls go on a fantastical adventure through the house and out into the garden. They soon escape the clutches of the toy dinosaur and the snapping jaws of the oven-glove crocodile, but then a very real pair of scissors threatens. A beautiful, rhythmical story of childhood, loss and the power of imagination from the author of The Gruff alo, and new illustrating talent Rebecca Cobb.

Julia Donaldson, recently appointed as the Children's Laureate, is the outrageously talented, prize-winning author of the world's most-loved picture books, most notably The Gruffalo, which has sold over five million copies worldwide. Julia also writes fiction as well as poems, plays and songs - and her brilliant live children's shows are always in demand.
A picturebook that seems simple but gets richer every time you look at it... Cobb's illustrations capture the joy of childhood; between them, she and the Children's Laureate have made a book that works like magic. -- Nicolette Jones * The Sunday Times * Rebecca Cobb's beautifully drawn and colourful illustrations are absolutely charming... I don't want to spoil the ending, but I can say that the inherent message of the story, that nothing is truly destroyed once it becomes a memory, left us both feeling surprisingly contented! * muffandteacake.co.uk *
