This book is from the future. In the future, books are very popular. One of the most popular books in the future is called THE FUTURE BOOK, a silly, innovative picture book from two of todays best picture book creators to read aloud again and again!
You might think you know what the future is like, and what words and phrases we use. But lots of things are different here in the future.
Have you seen the colour BLORANGE? You havent? And how is it you say goodbye again? Its not YOU SMELL LIKE A BABY? Well . . . that might seem silly to you, but its absolutely normal for us in the future.
We invite you to turn the pages of this book to discover what else has changed in the future, and to see how the funny word combinations lead to a brilliantly bonkers narrative that will have you rolling in the aisles of the BOLLY BOLLY HOO HOO (that's what we call the supermarket in the future).
