The Adventures of Mr. Schnoozle (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780648315605)

A whimsically illustrated chapter book about a shy little creature in a magical land who discovers his bravery through friendship and adventure.

Mr. Schnoozle, a little green creature in the magical land of Willowbrook, loves quiet days full of pansy snacks and nice long naps. One morning, Mr. Schnoozle's quiet life is interrupted by a sorrowful wail coming from a place he has never dared to go - the Bamboo Forest.

Mr. Schnoozle's decision to venture towards the forest is his first step toward embarking on many new and exciting adventures. With the help of a magical mare, a crow, a squirrel, and many other Willowbrook creatures, Mr. Schnoozle learns an awful lot about loyalty, friendship, and finding courage in the most unlikely of places - namely, himself.

The Adventures of Mr. Schnoozle is a children's chapter book for children ages 5-10. Mr. Schnoozle's stories will inspire children - and former children - to overcome their own self-imposed limitations and embrace their courage through imagination and adventure. There are ten chapters, with each chapter being a story that can be read alone or as part of the whole. This delightful book has been richly illustrated by Simon Howe, an Illustrators Australia and Penguin Random House Australia award recipient.
