Publication dates are subject to change (although this is an extremely uncommon occurrence overall). But Sunny is starting to feel claustrophobic and decides to set off to stay with his mongoose cousins and explore the outside world. Meerkat Mail is a brilliant picture book from Emily Gravett, the winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal. This book takes you on a journey with a meerkat who is looking for a home that suits him better than his current family home. There’s so much to enjoy, from the newspaper cuttings on the endpapers to the wittily accurate information about each mongoose species Sunny visits on his journey.The pages feel quite interactive as there are postcards to lift up so it's engaging for younger readers. Sunny lives on an arid plain with his extensive and loving meerkat family; they work together, play together and together do their best to stay away from jackals! With seven giant glossy postcards attached to the pages, this beautiful book is rich with comic detail and will keep any child entertained for hours. I was a little disappointed with the finish of the book because I had to glue several of the flaps back down before I'd even read it.
