Description
The book contains three stories about Tollins, small winged creatures that resemble fairies but are remarkably sturdy, about as fragile as a house brick. In "How to Blow Up Tollins," a fireworks factory arrives in the village of Chorleywood, and the Tollins are used as industrial supplies in the manufacturing process, being launched into the night sky and spun on Catherine wheels. The illustrated stories combine humor and adventure while introducing young readers to these fantasy creatures and their misadventures.
Quick Summary
Tollins are tiny, winged creatures who happen to love causing massive explosions, and this book lets kids follow three of their wild adventures where things go boom in the most hilarious ways. Kids will giggle at the mischievous pranks, root for the tiny heroes as they outwit bigger foes, and devour each short story in one sitting thanks to fast-paced action and bouncy illustrations on every page. If your kid likes The Bad Guys or Roald Dahl's zany humor, they'll blow through these pages and demand the next Tollins book. Perfect for ages 7-10 in grades 2-5, especially kids who want quick reads with big laughs and little troublemakers.
