About This Book
Albie wakes up in the middle of the night to find penguins have stolen his bed! He races downstairs, but instead of his bed, he spots dancing gnus in the loo and zebras snoozing in the kitchen cupboards. Suddenly, elephants are building a rocket out of furniture—what will happen when the rocket blasts off?
