FARMER CLEGG'S NIGHT OUT RICH WITCH POOR WITCH THE PARENT AGENCY THE PERSON CONTROLLER ANIMALCOLM MAGIC INK ALIENS STINK! I was so excited to learn of a new title and so rushed out to get one (only for it to be sold out – it was that popular). A flamboyantly fun tropical tale of love, fame, friendship from the creators of the international bestseller The Lion Inside.

I was not pleased with the “pain in the butt” line, though recognize it’s true to the character shift the book is portraying.An adorable board book edition of this flamboyantly funny tale about the love we give to the world – and the love that comes echoing back. This funny and touching rhyming story is perfect for sharing, reminding us all that treating others with kindness makes the whole world a better and happier place.

It’s not until a small butterfly points out that’s it’s his echo, that he finally realises that he actually sounds awful and overpowering. Jim has won multiple awards for the children's books he has illustrated; including the Lollies, The Roald Dahl Funny Prize, The Evening Standards Oscars Prize and The Sainsbury's Award. Jim Field, as ever, creates a wonderfully colourful accompaniment with vibrancy and brilliantly engaging characters.
