Probably the first book about ancient Egypt that involves bubble wrap and skateboards!

A regular at major book festivals Chae has toured the length and breadth of the UK and visited schools as far afield as Romania reading his stories acting the goat and singing silly songs about worm ice cream and beard-growing. He lives in Dundee with his wife three annoying cats and a very old goldfish called Lazarus.Marisa Morea (Illustrator) Marisa Morea is a freelance illustrator based in Madrid Spain. She lived in Barcelona for a couple of years and she graduated in a MA Illustration at Eina School in Barcelona in 2009.
