Walker Books is excited to announce the arrival of celeb-favourite Bookaboo – available for the very first time in Australia and New Zealand this month!
The Bookaboo book series, based on the BAFTA award-winning UK TV show, which boasts A-list celebrity guests such as Meat Loaf, Mel C (Spice Girls), Kym Marsh (Coronation Street) and a slew of others, is a worldwide television and reading phenomenon, with fans both young and old across the globe.
A cult-hit classic, Bookaboo was screened on Australia’s ABC2 channel this year, and now for the first time, Australia and New Zealand are able to get their paws on their own copies of the hit book series!
Both funny and clever, Bookaboo follows the story of a trendy rock star puppy who can’t play a gig until a story has been read to him – and in the case of the TV series, read to by a celebrity no less!
Getting into all sorts of mischief along the way, Bookaboo promotes a love of reading, music and most of all, fun.
With five titles in total, including a seriously entertaining musical pop-up book, Bookaboo Pop-Up Pup Idol; a sticker book, Bookaboo Stickers, Drums and Rock and Roll; and a playful colouring-in book, Bookaboo Colour and Do; Bookaboo is one for the young, and the young at heart.
