A delightful picture book about two best friends, Cedric and Boo, brought to life by award-winning author-illustrator Tim Hopgood's joyful, glowing art for 3+ readers.
Boo the elephant has just bought some new, shiny boots. So shiny that he can see his face in them! He absolutely does not want them to get dirty so he decides not to play outside any more. But when he sees his best friend Cedric at the park, he can't help but join him running through the autumn leaves. His boots get all muddy, but maybe his friendship with Cedric and the fun they have together is more important after all?
