Surprise is the cheekiest Moodie in all of Moodies Town—always plotting, scheming, and dreaming up the silliest tricks. But today he’s got his best prank yet: a pie-in-the-face surprise for Smiley… delivered in a mysterious big box.
Only… something’s gone very wrong. Instead of pie, Smiley finds dirty socks and muddy clothes. That's not right. That's not right at all! What happened to the trick box?
Join Surprise on a mad, laugh-out-loud dash across town as he opens one wrong box after another, trying to find his missing prank before the whole day turns into a gigantic, giggly mix-up. With bright, bold illustrations and bouncy, read-aloud-friendly rhyme, this story is packed with surprises, friendship, and just the right amount of mischief.
🌟 Ideal for ages 4–7 (and for anyone who loves silly humour, rhyming picture books, and comic chaos).
✨ Open the box—Moodies Town is waiting!
Starring
Surprise
If something unexplainable happens—or a sneaky trick is played—look around! You’ll probably find Surprise, the clever trickster, Moodie. Mischief is always close when Surprise is near.
Smiley
Smiley is the ever-loving, always-happy yellow Moodie with the biggest grin in town. He loves dancing, tea parties, and helping everyone feel their best. Even on the worst days, Smiley’s heart stays bright—just waiting for his smile to come back.
Cry
Cry is the soft-hearted, teary-eyed Moodie who always has feelings bubbling up. When he’s sad, he cries big puddly tears—and when he’s happy, he cries sparkly joy-tears too. No matter what the day brings, Cry’s heart stays open—because for him, crying is just how he lets the feelings out.
Beauty
Beauty is the polished, sparkle-loving Moodie who wants everything beautiful, neat, and perfect. She adores tidy plans, pretty details, and when everything looks just right. But when things get messy or don’t go her way, Beauty’s temper can flare—and she’ll want to run and hide until the world feels calm again.
