Torla and Smorla and The Deeper than Average Hole
(Autor) Kes GrayFrom the author of bestselling Oi Frog! comes an absurdly funny and heartwarming lift-the-flap picture book about two giraffe friends.

In The Deeper than Average Hole, Smorla must find a way to rescue her friend... but despite her efforts, Torla stays resolutely stuck. How best to get her out?! Featuring two stronger-than-average elephants, one hairier-than-average gorilla, and a BIG surprise, this book is full of uproarious deadpan humor that will have kids and grownups giggling as they turn the pages. As well as being a very amusing read, The Deeper than Average Hole teaches children the importance of persistence and helping others, as Smorla helps her friend Torla out of a tricky situation. This loveable series will get children thinking about the world around them. This is the second book in a laugh-out-loud series by Kes Gray, with bright, humorous drawings from award-winning illustrator Chris Jevons. With a stand-out, narrowed portrait format to emphasise the height of the giraffes and the depth of the hole, this playful picture book includes four gatefolds, creating a special and interactive reading experience that children will be actively involved in. At times whimsical, at others hilarious, this series by Kes Gray follows the characters Torla and Smorla, who enjoy a very unlikely friendship. Join them on their adventures as the love and trust they share take their companionship to new heights.
