Hubert Horatio

A hilarious new story about Hubert Horatio Bartle Bobton-Trent from Lauren Child - the superstar creator of Clarice Bean and Charlie and Lola - published especially for World Book Day! When Hubert Horatio is a baby, his parents take him on an outing. But it's not long before they are distracted by something in a shop window and let go of his pram. Hubert is surprised to find himself hurtling faster and faster down the hill before plummeting - splash! - into some water. From being mistaken for a haddock and wrapped in newspaper to granting three wishes, there are no end of surprises in this funny fishy tale, which proves that Hubert is indeed "one in a TRILLION". Legendary children's writer and Waterstones Children's Laureate 2017-2019 Lauren Child revisits one of her most popular characters in this brand-new, laugh-out-loud story about the rather unconventional Bobton-Trents! Perfect for children aged six and up.
