Description
Say 'Eh-Oh' to the performer behind the beloved Teletubby Laa-Laa in this candid and entertaining book.
Lifting the curtain on what it was like to be Laa-Laa and experience the astonishing success of the Teletubbies phenomenon, Nikky Smedley's enchanting story is warm, affectionate and as lively and funny as the Teletubbies themselves.
Unique in its use of educational theory, child psychology and revolutionary linguistics, Teletubbies achieved global viewing figures of three billion a year. Airing in 120 countries in 45 languages, it was one of the most internationally successful television programmes ever.
Advance Praise

‘Charming, funny and insightful.’ -Kathy Brodie
‘Top notch insight into the woman within the puppet.’ –Vic Reeves
'This brilliant self-portrait of artist as Teletubby is: fascinating, funny, poignant and heartwarming, in equal measure.' -Murray Lachlan Young
