Bird was using it as a nest, but it was too heavy; Bear used it in his drum kit, but it was too tinny; the Squirrels built sandcastles with it.

Then meet No-Bot, the robot whose bottom is making funny noises in this hilariously silly new adventure from Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet, creators of the super-bestselling SUPERTATO series! I can't recommend any of the Sue Hendra books highly enough, seriously if you've never read any of her books then you MUST! They made up a story about a fish with fingers and then a slug with a doughnut for a shell, and now no one can stop them from writing more and more frankly ridiculous books.In 2006 she met Paul Linnet and could instantly see that she'd met a fellow nitwit who liked talking nonsense. Apart from the boldly illustrated zany story which young children will doubtless love, this book offers a host of possibilities for creative thinking. Doodle Cat has a cape (a tea towel), which gives him some pretty cool superpowers:he can fire furballs at high speed, become invisible and grow 300 times his own size (kind of). Find out in this laugh-out-loud, fun-filled story from the brilliant brains behind Supertato, Norman the Slug with the Silly Shell, Barry the Fish with Fingers and more!

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Children will love watching No-Bot try on all kinds of strange new bottoms, from a wheel of cheese to a large red sofa! All of my classes over the years have absolutely adored the original Nobot the Robot story so I was excited to see there was a new adventure on the way. It inspired them to create their own robot and consider digital technology with regards to circuits etc. When she met Paul Linnet she found another twit with a silly sense of humour so they fell in love and started writing and illustrating together.

I can’t recommend any of the Sue Hendra books highly enough, seriously if you’ve never read any of her books then you MUST! But, when Bernard realises that his bottom really is making funny noises, he asks Bear to take it away before it explodes. Paul Linnet was born in Brighton and grew up in the Midlands, reading Tintin and playing classic 80s video games, before becoming obsessed with scribbling, writing, guitars and motorcycles.
