WHINGEVILLE
By Coral Vass and Aleksandra Szmidt
Will loves to whinge. He is the master of complaining. Until one night, a magnificent hot-air balloon takes Will to an odd little town where the townspeople crown him King. But with everyone in town being constant complainers - will this moaning, groaning King really want to keep the crown?
Everyone needs a little groan now and then, but some people just take it too far! Meet Will. He is a grumble machine who doesn't like anything. From ice-cream being too cold to spaghetti being too long! When a mysterious balloon takes Will to the town of Whingeville, the hot air balloon ride may not be the only fresh perspective.
“When a picture book for young children is titled Whingeville, most adults will already guess at the storyline and the ending….This story is entertaining, does have lovely rhythm and rhyme, and it has a deeper layer for those willing to look. “ - Cherie Bell (Reading Time)
