Synopsis "Winnie and Wilbur in Winter and audio CD"

Brrrr! Winnie and Wilbur are shivering on a cold winter's day. They would rather be relaxing in the sunshine. But when Winnie brings summer to her garden . . . everyone else wants to join them. How will they escape the crowds? Whether it's snowing or sizzling, this is a rain-or-shine Winnie and Wilbur adventure to enjoy the whole year round. Korky Paul's intricate artwork is full of madcap humour and crazy details to pore over. This edition features an accompanying audio CD with the story and magical music and sound effects. The spellbinding new look of this bestselling series celebrates the wonderful relationship that exists between Winnie the Witch and her big black cat, Wilbur.

Since Winnie and Wilbur first appeared in 1987 they have been delighting children and adults in homes and schools all over the world and more than 7 million books have been sold. Winnie and Wilbur will be hitting TV screens worldwide in 2017, airing in the UK on Milkshake, Channel 5's popular pre-school slot. A Winnie and Wilbur stage show is set to run in Birmingham in 2017 followed by a national UK tour.
