Description

“Share[s] the bright hand-drawn style of beloved Scarry characters. The colours are gorgeous and it’s brimming with amusing details to keep little ones engaged… this one has eye-catching brio and plenty of pop.”-The Times

For fans of Richard Scarry comes a zany peek into a busy apartment building, and what the one-of-a-kind residents are up to.

There’s a lot happening inside the apartment building on Bubblegum Street. There’s Mouse, a famous rapper, who lives on the ground floor and is getting ready to go out. Panther, the plant collector, has plants from every single continent. Hippo snores in his favorite armchair, dreaming of a great Arctic adventure. In the attic apartment, Bat is practicing a new dance routine, while in apartment number two, the monkeys are baking a “Speckled Orange Orangutan Cake.”

You can hear music playing and very loud snoring too. The delicious aroma of cake wafts through the stairwell, and there’s always something tapping, knocking, shuffling, and ringing… until 6:00 PM, when they all gather on the rooftop terrace for their weekly party to show off their talents.

Get ready for an unforgettable tour of No. 5 Bubblegum Street! Why don’t you come in and meet the neighbors?
