Little Answer




Can one little answer find his question in this funny, philosophical fable from Tim Hopgood?

"What makes the world go round?" "Sausages!"
"What makes the wind blow?" "Sausages!"
"Where does everything come from?" "Sausages!"

Little Answer is desperate to find his question. But there’s a big problem – his answer is "Sausages"! What question could possibly have such a silly answer?

Children will love helping Little Answer to find his question in this wonderfully funny, interactive story.
