Will there be a new Julia Donaldson animation at Christmas?

[lostlalaloopsy]

Does anyone know? We have loved all the last ones, Stick Man last year was particularly good. Dd asks for it on everyday!

I am hoping for Tiddler or SuperWorm!!

oooh I hope so! I would love the singing mermaid but maybe a bit too scary?

I was wondering the same thing! A quick google suggests it is too early. Huge fan of Superworm!

My vote is for The Snail and the Whale. Mainly so I never have to read it again. I just cannot get the words out with getting tangled. All the other books are fine, that one I just can't do!!

I'm hoping for Tiddler too!

Snail and the Whale

Definitely Snail and the Whale! It's so lilting and lovely. Read by Cumberbatch.

Ohhhh we would oove what the ladybird heard as an animatiom

Probably not, they've been biannual historically unfortunately. Yes, it really has been a long time since the original Gruffalo was animated!

Oh I hadn't realised they were biannual!

Anything narrated by Cumberbatch would get my vote. Or James Nesbitt!

So it's bi annual - boo!! They usually show them all over Christmas so can at least re-watch them!!

We would vote for Zog or Tabby McTat, our firm bedtime favourites currently.

Superworm!
Tis by far MY favourite!

Would love the singing mermaid or what the ladybird bird heard...

There's a sequel to Zog out soon!

as far as i am aware, this year it is 'We're going on a bear hunt'

Ooh.... A sequel to Zog?!

I've never read Superworm, judging by its popularity I might have to add it to a birthday list.

Has anyone ever found books that compare to a Julia Donaldson? They have just the right balance of a nice, not too long story with plenty to look at and talk about in the pictures and I've never found anything that comes close.

They're not necessarily biannual. Gruffalo's Child followed the year after The Gruffalo. We have them all on our Sky+ box since they were originally shown!

They're every other year. I thought Biannual meant twice a year?

mallow have you tried the Sue hendra books? We love those - no bot, supertato, Barry the fish with fingers?

No, dylsmimi. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll have a look now.

The gruffalo's child was 2 years after the Gruffalo. You probably first caught the repeat showing.

They are available on Amazon instant video

Having just read 'The Highway Rat' to the DC this evening, I'd vote for that
Seriously I love all her books; you can tell she composes them as songs as they are just so lovely to read. Tabby McTat would be great to see on TV as well - same as Zog, Superworm, Snail & Whale...
We've recorded and kept all of the ones they did so far as the DC adore them, can't wait to find out what it's going to be.

I hope they repeat them as well. Room on the Broom and Stick Man were my post lunch saviour but they got deleted by accident.

Julia Donaldson books have been animated?! Why didn't I know this??? Where can I find them p!lease?
