About The Book
We flew in an airplane, Mum, Boo and me,
To a fancy hotel overlooking the sea.
We stuffed a big suitcase right up to the brim,
With flip flops and snorkels and goggles squeezed in.
Flip flops, snorkels and goggles aren't the only things that have come with Pip on her summer holiday . . . There's also something with big white, jagged teeth that is sure to make this trip even more memorable! What COULD it be? Find out what happens in this wildly hilarious picture book by much-loved author Michelle Harrison and bestselling illustrator David Tazzyman.
