Bumble's Snowy Surprise

A heartwarming children’s truck adventure based on a real New Zealand journey.

Bumble’s Snowy Surprise is the first book in The Real New Zealand Adventures of Bumble the Expedition Truck — a charming children’s picture book series inspired by our real-life travels while living full-time on the road in Bumble.

When Bumble, Kenny, and Ra Ra arrive in Central Otago, their plans suddenly change. After Bumble is too tall to fit into the campground, they must find another place to spend the night. By morning, they wake to a magical snowy surprise — and a new challenge to solve together.

This beautifully illustrated story is perfect for children who love trucks, monster trucks, cars, travel, and adventure, while also appealing to families interested in overlanding, van life, living on the road, and real travel stories. With a gentle message about kindness, teamwork, and overcoming challenges, it is a lovely read-aloud for ages 4–8.

Each Bumble book also includes fun facts, real New Zealand locations, and interactive elements that make it especially appealing for homeschooling, roadschooling, worldschooling, and geography-rich learning.

Perfect for:

• kids who love trucks and big adventures

• families interested in van life and overlanding

• homeschool and unschool families looking for “living books”

• parents wanting children’s books set in real New Zealand places

Format: Available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle.
