Horatio is a natural leader and gathers all the lost and lonely creatures of the room under the bed - where they create their own world - with rivers, and cities and a place for everyone. But what will happen to Horatio once Jack's mother discovers what is under the bed?For the under-fives, a poignant and powerful picture book about homelessness and everyone's need for friendship, with stunning, fantastical illustrations from award-winning cartoonist, Chris Riddell. |
