The Little Somethings is a charming series, ideal for kids who love collecting Mr Men and Little Miss.
Somewhere, not so far away, there's a cave filled with wonderful creatures. They’re called the Little Somethings, which is unfortunate, because the Greedy Guzzler is very hungry … and looking for a little something to satisfy his appetite …
Those poor Little Somethings; they’re terrified of being eaten! But this Greedy Guzzler is very particular. He doesn’t want any old little something. He doesn’t want anything skinny, nor anything with wings or nasty stings. Which just leaves … the Miniwiggler and Skiddadler.
The Miniwiggler will have to use all his cunning in order to escape the Greedy Guzzler’s clutches!
Little Somethings is perfect for kids aged 3 and up. Children will have fun pointing out the different characters with the ‘Spotters Guide’ and following the recipe for ‘Nosh Biscuits’!
