　　Toby is a Big Boy now, but sometimes even when you're big the tricky things are still a bit tricky . . .

　　Toby is no longer a little elephant. He's a Big Boy, much bigger than baby sister Iris. He can pour his own milk, read his own bedtime stories, and even reach the snacks high on the "just for mummies" shelf. But some things are still very tricky even when you're big. And when Mummy is too busy with Iris to help him, Toby ends up with bad buttons, wrong wellies and loo paper everywhere! Then Toby gets very cross . . .

　　A touching tale about learning to be an older brother, brought to life by Christine Pym's beautifully soft artwork. This charming, relatable story captures the difficulties of growing up and learning to be independent when some things are still hard to do. It s the perfect book for little children learning to share their parents' attention with new siblings  and has a heart-warming ending that the whole family will love.


 

　　Lou Peacock (Author) Lou Peacock is lucky enough to have one of the best jobs in the world: "Head of Picture books" at Nosy Crow. She has a degree in English literature from Oxford University, and over twenty years' experience in children's publishing. She started her editorial career working on novelty books, but has focussed on picture books and poetry for the last 15 years. She often puts her author hat on to write picture books for Nosy Crow and has a notebook full of scribbled ideas. Christine Pym (Illustrator) Christine was born a little before midnight on New Year's Eve in 1984. She has always loved books and as a child could be found trying her best to draw just like Beatrix Potter. She went on to study Illustration for Children's Publishing at the North East Wales School of Art and has been illustrating since she left in 2006. Christine has created illustrations for children's books, cards, toys and clothing with companies based in the UK, US, France and Australia. She lives and works in a Post Office in the Peak District with her partner Ste and Yorkshire terrier, Suzie.
