Author:Jeremy Strong
Nicholas's dad has had an idea – always a cue for disaster! This time he's planning to take the whole family camping. Sounds great, but Tomato is taking her pet carrot (don't ask) and Cheese is smuggling his pet hen into the camping van, while Granny and Lancelot are planning on bringing the goat . . .
How much chaos can one family cause!
The sixth story in this very popular series is every bit as silly and delightful as all the rest, while Rowan Clifford's black-and-white illustrations add to the fun.
