NEWS: Free Scary Mary Book Offer

Playwright, actor and author David Wood OBE and Richard Fowler celebrate the anniversaries of their timeless pop-through-the-slot children’s books Mole’s Bedtime Story and Funny Bunny’s Magic Show with a special Scary Mary free book offer  

This year, playwright, actor and author David Wood OBE and illustrator Richard Fowler celebrate the anniversaries of their timeless and much-loved pop-through-the-slot children’s books, Mole’s Bedtime Story and Funny Bunny’s Magic Show.  To mark the books’ respective 25th and 20th birthdays, customers who buy a copy of either book on Amazon will receive a complimentary copy of their pop-through-the-slot book, Scary Mary – the perfect Christmas gift for little ones.

These entertaining interactive stories are perfect for developing hand-eye coordination in toddlers.   All three story books use the device of a cut-out animal character which the young reader can have fun moving through the slots in the pages as the story progresses: in Mole’s Bedtime Story, the child helps Mole find his way to his own cosy bed; in Funny Bunny’s Magic Show, they assist Bunny in performing his magic tricks and in Scary Mary, a happy young hippo enjoys popping up and ‘scaring’ her family before the tables are turned!
