Pernickety Boo is a captivating series of adventures that is perfect for those who love whimsical humour. Written by Carnegie and Costa Award-winning author Sally Gardner and beautifully illustrated throughout by Greenaway-shortlisted artist Chris Mould, Pernickety Boo is the unforgettable story of a very unusual umbrella. The umbrella's handle is carved in the shape of a dog's head, with a long snout, shiny nose, and floppy ears. The umbrella can talk and has unexplored magical powers. Brought to life by a careless sorcerer, Pernickety Boo is a well-educated umbrella with unexplored magical powers. When Pernickety meets young Sylvie Moonshine and is welcomed into her home, he thinks that all of his prayers have been answered. However, there are plenty of other people who are also interested in the magical umbrella, and who threaten to separate Pernickety from his beloved Sylvie unless he can find a way to stop them. Perfect for fans of A Bear Called Paddington, The Velveteen Rabbit, and Winnie-the-Pooh, this instant classic is a book for the whole family to share.
