Torla and Smorla and The Lower than Average Cloud is the funny, kind-hearted story of two endearing giraffes and their enduring friendship.
From the author of bestselling Oi Frog! comes an absurdly funny and heartwarming lift-the-flap picture book about two giraffe friends, who are out on a walk together.
Meet Torla, the taller-than-average giraffe, and Smorla, who’s…well, smaller than average. Right at the very beginning of their walk, Torla’s longer-than-average neck gets stuck in a very stubborn cloud. These loveable giraffes have to work together, with Smorla guiding Torla past some very funny obstacles.
Featuring three lazy lions, two bingo-playing hippos, a silly sunbathing elephant and more, this book is full of uproarious humour that will have kids and grownups giggling as they turn the pages.
This is the first book in a new laugh-out-loud series by Kes Gray, with bright, bold and beautiful drawings from award-winning illustrator Chris Jevons.
As well as being a very amusing read, The Lower than Average Cloud teaches children the importance of being considerate and helpful to others, as Smorla helps her friend Torla out of a tricky situation.
At times whimsical, at others deadpan, this series by Kes Gray follows the characters Torla and Smorla, who enjoy a very unlikely friendship. One is a taller-than-average giraffe, the other is a shorter-than-average giraffe! Join them on their adventures as the love and trust they share take their companionship to new heights.
