Professor Potts Goes Over The Hill

Professor Potts loves inventing things, although his creations do not always work properly the first time.

In Professor Potts Goes Over the Hill, the eccentric inventor returns with another unusual idea. Accompanied by his pet parrot, Einstein, Professor Potts sets off on a new adventure involving new inventions, experimentation, and the unexpected consequences of putting a clever plan into action.

This illustrated children’s story combines humour, curiosity and creative problem-solving. It is suited to children who enjoy eccentric characters, imaginative inventions and adventures in which things do not go quite as expected.
