Kiki and Bobos are going to the beach. It’s the perfect day to eat ice cream and swim in the sea. But why is Bobos so restless? Can Kiki help him? Lift the flaps and find out what happened on this sunny day.
The new series of pre-school books stars a cat and a dog: Kiki and Bobos! The two friends spend lots of time together exploring the world around them, with humour and sensitivity.

"...The two books in the series will keep little hands busy for a long time; they have simple yet not simplistic text, they have something to say without being didactic, and they are the sort of books that children return to time and time again."
– Myrto Athanasopoulou, brightsideofmom.gr"...On a beach, young children will meet Kiki and Bobo, _A Sunny Day_. A book for little hands to discover the adventures of the two friends beneath the book’s fold-out pages. A cat and a dog, archetypal enemies who become inseparable through beach games, ice creams and dips in the sea."
– Eleni Korovila, Bookpress.gr"...The books are ideal for pre-schoolers, children in the pre-nursery and nursery years, but they can easily entertain younger children too. The stories are simple and entertaining, whilst the pages feature lots of little flaps that help the story unfold and allow the child to take part in it."
– Zoe Koskinidou, Red Fox"...These are such colourful, playful and tender books that are sure to delight pre-schoolers..."
– Two Boys and Hope Blog"...Kiki and Bobos are two little friends who play beautifully together! They hatch plans, go on adventures by the sea and prepare surprises! They share their worries and stand by one another!"
