"Learn a lesson about feelings with Milo the rhino"
Meet Milo. He’s a rhino and likes to do rhino-y things, like painting, singing, climbing, mountain-biking.
It’s while watching his favourite action hero Spike-O Mcree in a pirate film that Milo picks up what he thinks is a key piece of information: rhinos don’t cry. It’s a doctrine he takes to heart, but it’s really put to the test when the family’s little cat Pickles gets lost.
Fortunately, an unexpected meeting with Spike-O himself gets Milo rethinking things, and then the happy reappearance of Pickles puts everything right. There’ll hardly be a dry eye in the house at the end of this lively, funny, satisfying rhyming story which delivers an important message about showing your feelings even amongst the humour of the setting and situation.

Milo's a rhino.
He likes to do all sorts of rhino-y things . . .
He likes writing and climbing
and banister-sliding
and mountain bike riding,
he paints and he sings.
Milo just loves being a rhino - but there's one small problem . . . rhinos don't cry. At least that's what Spike-O Mcree, his movie-star hero, always says. But when Milo meets Spike-O face to face, he finds out that not only is crying OK, it's also very brave!
