When it comes to a car as special as Chitty, everybody wants a piece of her . . .

This fabulous picture book from superstar author and
illustrator Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler is a riot of slapstick
fun and silliness.
The Baddies are the meanest, nastiest ghost, witch and
troll in the land.
They just adore being bad, and fight over who is the worst.
When a little girl moves into a nearby cottage, the Baddies can’t
wait to scare her out of her wits.
But the little girl quickly shows them that you don’t have
to be big to be brave, and baddies don’t always win.
This hardback edition with a protective dust-jacket is a gift
for a lifetime

page with lots of details to spot
