Take this from a family of avocado lovers: if you have kids, get them this book and read it together. It is beautiful. It is so beautiful. The drawings are pure art and the story is sweet and beautiful, and it is also deeply meaningful. But even if a child is too young to grasp the deeper meaning yet (which most kids are), the story is still super beautiful.

Let the Fur Fly! (Grimwood, book 2) by Nadia Shireen

The further illustrated adventures of Ted and Nancy, the fox siblings doing their best to settle into their new woodland home, do not disappoint. We meet lots of brand new (and totally bonkers) characters, including a squirrel called Ginger Fiasco, and a stoat called Susan Kidneys, and many of our favourites (hello, Sharon the party crow) make a welcome return. Honestly, this book is so funny it should come with a health warning. ~ Rob Biddulph, Guest Editor September 2022 Ted and Nancy are loving life in Grimwood and when they discover an unknown land beside Grimwood that appears to offer the most amazing food, entertainment and more, it is appearing even better than ever as they can go between the two and get the best of both worlds but when they find a very sophisticated local coming to claim Grimwood as their own land it is down to the two to work alongside the other Grimwood inhabitants to save their land. Grimwood is where I want to be. A carnival of crazed confused comical critters that is more real than real life. Lots of things make me laugh but Grimwood makes me laugh out loudest.' ― Frank Cottrell-Boyce Perfect for readers age 7+, and fans of Dog Man, Roald Dahl, David Walliams, Loki, Bunny vs Monkey and anyone who likes to laugh.

Nadia was always destined for a career in illustration—as a child, she would doodle on her exercise books, while as a student she would doodle on her law degree notes. Then, when working as a journalist in London for pop music bible Smash Hits, she would doodle all the time on anything. The good people at Smash Hits didn’t fire her for doodling furry animals - instead they let her leave early to go to evening classes in illustration.
