Out Now: Uh-Oh Niko!

The sixth book in the Uh-Oh Niko series, Uh-Oh Niko: Birthday Party, has officially hit shelves as of March 27th, 2025! Join Niko as he swings at the piñata and bounces on the bouncy castle in this interactive board book packed with push-and-pull sliders and flaps.

Read our earlier conversation with author-illustrator Chris Chatterton, below. We last spoke to him when the first two books in the series were released, and are thrilled to celebrate the continued success of this series!

“Having poured my heart into crafting the Uh-Oh, Niko series, I am bursting with excitement to share the first two books with the world. It’s been an incredible journey to bring Niko’s adventures to life on the page and a huge thank you has to go to the team at Ladybird for all their help and hard work.”

“What makes these books super special is their interactive nature, designed specifically to engage and captivate toddlers through its repetitive text, sliders to push and flaps to lift. I can’t wait for the young readers to play with and immerse themselves in Niko’s world and his charming ‘UH-OH’ moments, while learning that making mistakes is ok and part of the adventure.”

Chris was part of Ladybird and Puffin’s Picture Books Showcase in early 2024, where he showed of his new board book series. To read more, head to The Bookseller here.

The Uh-Oh Niko series has presently been signed for a minimum of 8 titles published by Ladybird Books.
