Bumble and Snug Series

by
(84 reviews)

The hilariousness of Bunny vs Monkey meets the emotional world of Inside Out with this full-colour graphic novel series for readers aged 5+ all about little monsters with BIG feelings going on hilarious adventures together!

Have you ever met a bugpop? Get to know Bumble and Snug, two very close but very different friends who stick together through thick and thin, no matter what. As they go on incredible adventures together and learn more about the big world outside, they also learn more about themselves and their inner worlds, making for a great series about dealing with emotions and feelings. 

Each book deals with different emotions while introducing some of children's favourite fictional characters: we've got ANGRY pirates, EXCITED unicorns, SHY ghosts and JEALOUS giants, and so many more fantastic characters - and BIG emotions - in store with future books. 

Mark Bradley's fun series is perfect for readers just starting to enjoy stories independently, to encourage visual or reluctant readers and for sensitive children to share with their grown-ups. 

If you're not sure whether this is the best next read, Narwhal And Jelly, Dog Man and Kitty Quest are some fantastically funny similar graphic novels.
