A delightful picture book about the wonders of all the fun you can have inside AND outside, by the award-winning Steve Antony, author of the bestselling Please Mr Panda.

BLIP spends all day plugged into her computer, playing games and having fun. But when there is a POWER CUT, Blip goes down the stairs and out the front door, where she discovers playing games and having fun . . . OUTSIDE. Isn’t it wonderful to be UNPLUGGED?

By Steve Antony, winner of the Oscar’s First Book Prize, nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal and shortlisted for the Waterstone’s Children’s Book Prize.

[A] gorgeous piece of propaganda for going outside.” & “[T]he book is so elegantly illustrated and cleverly conceived.”
