The Smeds and the Smoos Board Book by Julia Donaldson

🚀 The Smeds and The Smoos – Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler

Soar into space with this glorious love story of alien folk from the number one bestselling creators of The Gruffalo and Stick Man. 🌙✨

“By a loobular lake on a far-off planet
There lived a young Smed, and her name was Janet.
Not far away, on a humplety hill,
There lived a young Smoo by the name of Bill.”

The Smeds (who are red) never mix with the Smoos (who are blue) — so when a young Smed and Smoo fall in love, their families are less than thrilled! But love and friendship triumph, and peace is restored in this heartwarming, out-of-this-world story. 💜

Beautifully told in Julia Donaldson’s signature rhyme with Axel Scheffler’s breathtaking illustrations, this is a joyful tale of love, togetherness, and adventure.
