Having the WORST DAY EVER?
Turn that frown upside down with this wiggling, hooting, roaring adventure based on the picture book by Sophy Henn.
Arthur is having the WORST DAY EVER. So he runs away – nearly to the end of the garden.
But when it’s time to go home, Arthur’s journey back is full of surprises and he learns how to turn a stomp into a skip, a huff into a hoot and a roar into a song!
Maybe Arthur’s day isn’t so bad after all…
