About Bubbles the Zooting, Tooting Manatee

Another hilarious picture book from talented author-illustrator Minky Stapleton, which takes ‘the expulsion of gas’ to a whole new level!

Meet Bubbles, a lovable, funny, one-of-a-kind young manatee with a love for speed.

Bubbles is a gassy little manatee who loves swimming fast. The more she eats, the more she toots and the faster she zoots. Her elegant mother and aunties are horrified, but when trouble comes – in the form of a hungry alligator – will Bubbles save the day?

The clever text will appeal to both adults and children as it tells a heart-warming tale about celebrating your difference and finding your own place in the world.

Includes fun and farty facts about manatees – children will love Bubbles and glory in her exuberance!
