Meet the Thumbody family!

There are more than 30 different characters in the Thumbody family, and they all have very entertaining stories to tell!

The first book in the series is The Thumbodies, which introduces a number of the Thumbody characters as Mr Thumbody takes a stroll.

He meets Marathumb, who likes to keep fit; Greenthumb, whose flowers adore him; Pothumb, who can see brilliantly in the dark; Mr Handthumb, who is of course very handsome; Quarrelthumb and Troublethumb, who get along really well even though they argue all the time; and Thumbshine, who makes everyone she meets feel extra happy. Other characters living in Thumbodyland include Tirethumb, Mrs Greenthumb and Dr Thumbody - there are lots of terrific Thumbodies to meet!

Each story is presented so it's easy to read and fun to look at. And all of the stories have a little moral to them. For example, Quarrelthumb - who is so argumentative he even disagrees with the Talking Clock - ends up learning that being agreeable can be very agreeable. Mr Handthumb, who is so vain that he carries a hand mirror everywhere with him, discovers that everyone will still like him even when he's got a cold and doesn't look all that handsome at all. And Marathumb, who believes he is special because he can run everywhere, finds out that he can also do other things with his time that he really likes - such as reading a book!

The Thumbody characters are a perfect package for children. They're cute, entertaining, and each of their stories has a message for wellbeing and happiness. Join the Thumbody family today!
