When the parents of naughty babies realise they can send them back, the storks' village is suddenly inundated! Will the babies settle into their new home, or will they be returned to sender?

From sparkling new duo Cressida Gaukroger and illustrator Andrew Joyner comes this wickedly funny cautionary tale about naughty babies and their exasperated parents learning to get along, with a little help from the storks. Perfect for fans of I Want My Hat Back (Jon Klassen) and Not Now, Bernard (David McKee), Back to the Storks is both uproarious and blessed relief for frazzled 'gentle parents' everywhere!

'(A) wickedly funny book. It's bonkers and joyous and you should get it.' –Tim Minchin, Matilda the Musical.
