The first book in the hilarious Awesome Animals series, told in Ian Whybrows unique style, this hilarious animal adventure starring ever-popular meerkats is a funny,fast-paced, sure-fire hit. Meerkat Madness is the story of a burrow of meerkat pups and their eccentric babysitter, Uncle Fearless who once travelled to the Blah-Blah camp at the edge of the desert. Truth be told, Uncle is a bit of a show-off but the pups love his colourful stories even if they dont really believe them. But then they find a mysterious object buried in the sand and it isnt long before they are caught up in a daring adventure of their own!
