Blither and blather ... Gibblewort the miserable Irish goblin is back!

Blither and blather ... Gibblewort the miserable Irish goblin is back!

When Gibblewort wakes up at the zoo, he thinks he's in deepest, darkest Africa. So he squeezes his way into a nice, safe cage – only to find he's become the object of affection for a female chimpanzee! Every time Gibblewort manages to escape her clutches, he finds himself being thrown, kicked, tossed, shaken and even electrocuted back into the chimps' enclosure ... and Daisy's long hairy arms! How is everyone's favourite nasty little goblin going to get out of this one?

Praise for Goblin At The Zoo

Praise for GOBLIN IN THE BUSH: 'This polished little chapter book captures Gibblewort's vileness with great good humour... King's lively black ink illustrations... complement the rhythms of the text.' CBC Notable Books 2003

Praise for GOBLIN ON THE REEF: ‘This new adventure is zany and unusual, and is sure to appeal to boys who have already acquired basic reading skills but want something a little bit more structured and substantial. The illustrations are nicely creepy and bring wackiness to this larger-than-life story. A must read!’ www.lollipopsmagazine.com
