Traction Man and Scrubbing Brush are at the beach! Traction Man even has his special Squid-Proof Scuba Suit, perfect for exploring the secret crevices of the Rockpool. But there are adventures in store for our intrepid hero as he faces the thrills of Operation Picnic, the tribulation of being buried in sand and - worst of all - being washed away by a giant wave...
Join the daring duo as they meet new challenges ... and new friends.

Mini Grey's latest, Traction Man and the Beach Odyssey, is a seaside classic for 3+... The pictures are brilliant and the text hilarious - dads especially will love doing the voices.
