On a very Random Island in the North Atlantic Sea,
Some very Randomanimals are hiding in the trees...
The Sniger
& the Floose
a children’s book by Ashley Fayth
illustrated by Katie Brosnan
In this delightful nonsense poem, Ashley Fayth introduces readers to a range of “wild and wondrous” beasts—like the sniger, the floose, the squffin, and the butterflabbit. With its playful rhymes and rollicking rhythm, this book is a perfect read-aloud. Yet even in its silliest moments, The Sniger and the Floose is a gentle reminder to respect and preserve the beauty of the natural world around us, and a joyous celebration of imagination.

What folks are saying
“A delightful nonsense poem where readers meet a range of "wild and wondrous" beasts, including the singer, the floose, the squiffin and the butterflabbit. Katie Brosnan's illustrations provide the perfect accompaniment to Fayth's playful rhymes and rollicking rhythm. It's a lovely reminder of how important it is to respect and preserve the beauty of the natural world.” Jeffrey Canton, The Globe and Mail
“A pandemonium of portmanteaus, a raucous riot of words, a loveable crew of creatures on an unforgettable vivacious voyage. A nonsensical rollicking read-aloud for all ages. Thanks for the lip-slippery, joy-filled gibberish—The Sniger and the Floose is a new favourite of mine!” Sheree Fitch
