The Adventures of Toletis, Amenophis and Friends cover

Translated from Spanish with illustrations throughout, Toletis is a uniquely poignant story about nature and friendship, imagination, love and loss. The trees and grass are disappearing to make way for a new section of road. Toletis, his dog Amenophis, friends Claudia and Tutan are on a mission to find ingenious ways of replacing them and turning their little valley town, set deep in the mountains, lusciously green again. The odds are stacked against them. Can they succeed... with some very unusual help?

"Toletis is one of the most descriptive books I have read this year. I believe this book captures every season in absolute beauty whilst being funny and interesting." -- Sam (aged 9), Newsletter 48; "A book full of respect for the creativity and open hearts of children... an uplifting, funny and delightful collection of stories...Toletis captures a childhood all young children deserve." -- Zoe Toft; "A delightful book full of wisdom and love for the natural world and beautifully enhanced by the striking illustrations. According to Toletis, nature teaches us many lessons, whether or not we want to learn them or are clever enough to understand them" -- Joy Court, Lovereading4kids.co.uk
