Bod on the Beach by Michael and Joanne Cole

It's a lovely sunny day, so Bod and his friends catch the train to the seaside. But they have so much fun that they don't notice the tide coming in . . .

Bod was originally published in the 1960s and was adapted into a BBC television series that aired in 1975. The wit and serene charm of Bod have delighted children and adults alike ever since.

Parents will love sharing their favourite childhood character with the younger generation.

Husband and wife Michael and Joanne Cole created numerous award-winning children's TV programmes for the BBC, including Fingerbobs, Bod and Ragtime, which featured illustrations by Quentin Blake.
