Bradley and the Magic Carpet

What would you do if you had the chance to fly?

When Bradley is sent into the garden by his Dad to pick blackberries for a blackberry pie, he eats rather too many and falls asleep on an old Persian rug. Imagine his surprise when he wakes up to find he is flying on the rug! Together they journey to a distant land. But what will happen to the blackberries and will Bradley get his dessert?

This enchanting picture book is perfect for growing young imaginations and for those who love rhyming stories in the style of Dr Seuss or Julia Donaldson.

“It was an old carpet, a bold carpet, a usually tied up and rolled carpet.

But there it lay, inviting and snug, so Bradley curled up on that old Persian rug...”

This book is the sequel to Bradley and the Dinosaur, a great follow-up for fans of the first book.

Beautiful watercolour illustrations by the experienced illustrator Jacqueline East, bring to life Bradley’s journey as he leaves the comfort of his garden and travels over the oceans and across the world to a faraway land, where he encounters an unhappy Sultan who is bored with food. Through his helpful attitude, Bradley is able to make him smile again.
