"Lemmings don't jump off cliffs." It says so right here in Foxy’s book. There’s just one problem: the lemmings haven't read it. Welcome aboard the S.S. Cliff for a hilarious arctic adventure as first mate Foxy and Captain Polar Bear try to get these little guys to just READ THE BOOK! ‘An off-the-wall lesson about the value of facts… Children will laugh, be encouraged to read and be glad to Know Better.’ Sunday Times ‘A new favourite in our house… full of wit and exuberance, perfect for visually sophisticated modern children.’ Irish Independent

"Delightfully imparts the joy and discovery of reading—and many chuckles and guffaws." * Kirkus *
"An absolute joy to read" * BookTrust *
