Nobby Travels
By Darren & Julia Spence
Published by Weird Grape Ltd
£14.99 Travel Set of 5 books including carry case

Whether discovering the beauty of the Northern Lights in Lapland, making friends with the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland, or learning the secret of the Blue Mountains in Australia (do you know why they look blue?), Nobby Travels is a delightful way to introduce children to the sights and culture of popular European and international countries.

As Mr Benn is fondly remembered by children born in the 70s, Nobby is the modern-day canine equivalent designed for 4-9 year olds of the 21st Century.

Each night, Nobby bounds through his dog flap which magically transports him to a new city or country where he is greeted by a breed of dog who befriends him and takes him on an adventure involving fact and fantasy, teaching him a little about the country his is visiting. He always manages to bring home a souvenir!

Nobby Travels books are the creation of husband and wife team Darren and Julia Spence who were inspired by their own Chocolate Labrador, “Branston” (pedigree name Nobby Bronie)

2008 has been labeled the ‘Year of Reading’ for all and highlights the need to encourage children to read. Set up by the Department for Children, Schools and Families it is managed by The National Literary Trust and The Reading Agency. Dates of interest to children and their families are stated above with national and world reading weeks and book days. Visit www.yearofreading.org.uk.

Children need inspiration to read and Nobby Travels is both inspirational and educational.

Nobby Travels Series One comprises 5 books: Australia, Scotland, Wales, France and Hollywood. Buy from www.nobbytravels.com; Amazon, Waterstones, Hamleys, WH Smiths and Blackwells . Series Two is expected in June 2008.
