“Here’s another delightfully funny comic strip book from the wonderful Bob Wilson.” - Booktopia. Australia
Its a warm, sunny day in Huddersgate so Stanley and his old friend Ted – (who knows all about nature) – decide to go for walk along the Grubb Street canal spotting flowers and things that are rare Amongst the interesting things that they spot are an unusual snail, a confused swallow and a rather large whale that’s lost its bearings.
Our Stan figures out a way of helping the whale turn around and go back to the Arctic, which, as it turns out, involves a Grand fishing competition, a confused newspaper editor, the Mayor, the vicar and lot of spectators getting very wet.
