The Perfect Sofa cover

Panda and Penguin love their old sofa - but when the springs poke through and the cover tears - they realise it is time to go shopping! They look at all sorts of sofas - too big, too small, too hard, too soft and even too `arty'! And, of course, they end up with their `perfect' sofa.

"...bright and expressive ... a lot of fun to read ... Expect lots of giggles and shrieks of laughter with this book." Let them Be Small

"This is a beautifully presented picture book with incredibly charming characters and an ostensibly simple story with hidden depths that you can explore through discussion."

On printed paper

"A superbly illustrated book with minimal text that manages to convey so much to children - to make the most of what we have, to share and talk about things; and to recycle. "
Parents in Touch
