A special thank you to Great Ormond Street Hospital for inviting us along to a special evening of thanks. It was lovely to see Alanna from the Play Team, they do such a wonderful job with the children and have such an important role. Ed is also a painter, working from his studio in East London and is represented by galleries in London and Los Angeles. My sister is consistently responding to the book, yelling out answers — which is when I know a book is great for kids and for use in class. Enjoy some of our recommended books for younger children about animals, from classics like Dick King-Smith's Sheep Pig to modern favourites like Ed Vere's Mr.Ed Vere studied fine art at Camberwell College of Art and has been writing and illustrating children's books since 1999.

The only mild complaint I have is that most of the kids this is written for won't know what the phrase, "not all it's cracked up to be" means. But the funniest thing is that I had received an ARC for this book last year but never got around to reading it and it expired. In both books, the main characters go on a quest and ask other animals for help, finding that not everyone is motivated to tell the truth.For more children's literature, middle grade literature, and YA literature reviews, feel free to visit my personal blog at The Miller Memo!
