Bye-Bye, Bubbly Bottle

Gumbo the little koala LOVES his bubbly bottle. Bottle at breakfast. Bottle in the car. Bottle in the bath! Even his hugs are one-paw hugs.

But tonight Gumbo wants to climb all the way to the Starlight Branch, ALL BY HIMSELF. Can a little koala climb with a bottle in his paw? He tries it in his paw (wobble... uh-oh!), in his mouth (splosh, all over grumpy Mr Wombat!) and under his arm (bonk, clatter, roll!) while Kooky the kookaburra laughs his head off.

Then his big sister shares a secret: look at your paws! Two paws to climb, two paws to play. With a shiny new Big Climber Cup, a thank-you for his old bottle and one wobbly bedtime with Papa's longest cuddle ever, Gumbo is ready for the big climb.

A warm, funny story that turns bottle weaning into a proud big-kid milestone, with no shame and no scare.

Inside you'll find:

• A read-aloud story with a catchy, repeatable rhyme: "Two paws to climb, two paws to play"
• Bold, bright, hand-painted pictures little ones love to point at
• Join-in moments: wiggle your climbing paws with Gumbo!
• The Big Climber Plan: simple, gentle tips for grown-ups
• A Big Climber Certificate to fill in and celebrate

Perfect for toddlers aged 1 to 4 moving from bottle to cup, and the sweet sequel to Paci Is Tired in the Tiny Goodbyes series.
