This hugely enjoyable piece of rhyming fun from master storyteller Kes Gray recently impressed the judging panel of Teach Primary magazine’s New Children’s Fiction Awards – running away with first place in the EYFS category. “It’s simply an absolute delight to read aloud with your child and became a firm bedtime favourite with my six-year-old daughter, Coco,” commented Radio 2’s Jo Whiley, who gave Gray’s book top marks in a range of criteria including breadth of appeal; opportunities for language play, discussion and learning; and effective use of illustration. “It was a fun read but also educational in terms of teaching spellings and phonetics while introducing her to new breeds of creatures and things they perched on! And I love Jim Field’s images, too - bright, clean and stylish.”
