Winnie and Wilbur are up to all sorts of mischief yet again in this cackling good read that consists of four crazily funny stories. Winnie and Wilbur together with their equally zany friends are illustrated brilliantly and exuberantly by the wild and wacky Korky Paul. His black and white line illustrations complement the humour, slapstick and moments of real drama that run through each story. Pure magic!

' Each page of the book is crammed full of really cool jokes and Korky Paul’s illustrations are great, making me chuckle away for hours. It’s a fantastic book and I can’t wait to get hold of more of the series to see what Winnie gets up to .' ....

Winnie and Wilbur have many talents! In 'Winnie's Wheels' they transform an old banger to go on holiday; in 'Blooming Winnie' they summon the help of the ghost of Great Aunt Winifred to control a class of unruly children; in 'Winnie's Tea Party' they find themselves entertaining their oddball relatives; and in 'Giddy-Up, Winnie!' Winnie and Wilbur head for the local race meeting on a homemade hobby horse - with hilarious results.
