We all know don’t we, that you should cover your mouth if you’re going to cough, and cover your nose when you sneeze. But young Sid forgets and ‘Achoo!’, what happens next is absurdly, surreally wonderful and makes for a glorious picture book adventure.
For out of his nostrils flies an elephant in a canoe – yes, you read that right, and it’s a pink elephant too. As they paddle along, Sid sneezes again and this time out flies a pirate ship and a small treasure island. The sneezes keep coming and the consequences keep getting bigger and more ridiculous.
It’s a joy from start to surprise finish and Nathan Reed’s illustrations easily match the inventive anarchy of Simon Philip’s text. Youngsters will love it, though if you’re looking for a book to improve etiquette, this might not be it ….

About
ACHOO! Synopsis
A hilarious book about the importance of ALWAYS covering your nose when you sneeze and what happens if you don't! You probably know it's good manners to ALWAYS cover your nose when you sneeze. But when Sid forgets this very simple rule, the consequences are wilder than he could ever have predicted.
Get ready for a laugh-out-loud, sneeze-driven joyride, featuring elephants, pirates, acrobats, giants, princesses and a whole lot of pandas. Sneezing will never be the same again! This joyfully anarchic, side-splittingly funny story is perfect for fans of You Can't Take an Elephant on the Bus and There's a Shark in the Bath.
From the bestselling, award-winning author of You Must Bring a Hat and I Really Want the Cake (shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2018), and the illustrator of Think Big.
