Bobos knows that today is a very special day. And Kiki knows it too. They’re both organising a surprise party, but for whom? Lift the flaps, play along and find out who the biggest super surprise is for.
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. This brilliant duo is the creation of illustrator and animator Yasmeen Ismail, who has won The New York Times’ and V&A awards for best illustrated book and has been longlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal.

"...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"...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!"
– Mama's 'n' Papa's Blog"...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 FoxYasmeen Ismail
