The Minton Goes! Books
Minton Goes!
One big book with all the Minton Goes! adventures, plus the story of Minton and the Hottest Boy who ever lived. Minton the spotty salamander loves things that move – and he finds just what he needs to make them. He's always keen for adventure, but his friend Turtle always worries that it will end in disaster. And you can make your own models of Minton's vehicles.
Minton Goes! Underwater & Home At Last
Minton was going to make a submarine. He knew he could do it, and he was itching to make a start.
But his friend, Turtle, shook his head.
'Are you crazy?' he said. 'Travel under the water? Down to the slimy bottom?'
Find out what happens when Minton and Turtle explore the deepest ocean, and soar above the clouds. Then follow the instructions at the end of the book to make your own submarine or hot-air balloon.
