The Great Musical Launch of the Second Creature Book
Creatures Give Advice Agian and it's warmer now was out on 21 June.

Response:
I am quite proud of this one. Also, I really miss MG on Twitter.
Monique was thinking of her doorbell, and The White Stripes-My Doorbell
The Creatures' reaction to this surprised me:
By the way I didn't really put them in the order they were played at the launch, because the first one was actually suggested by Alexis Hunter (@casnarrative) :
