He has won the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award and the Laugh Out Loud Book Award and has been shortlisted for the British Book Awards. As with the previous books supported by the brilliant illustrations these are all about playing with rhyming words and give plenty of chance to try out phonics sounds with loads of humour thrown in. Jim’s debut author-illustrator picture book ‘Monsieur Roscoe - On Holiday’ is a bilingual book that introduces first French words to young children and is now available in 12 countries.

The sense of humour in the writing and illustrations makes us smile every time and as this plays with animals that happen to have hard to rhyme names it's even funnier with a great final punch line. We use Clarity+ glazing which is a high-quality acrylic glass alternative, offering high UV resistance which doesn't yellow over time, is not easily scratched and is safe for use in children's bedrooms. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Loved by children and parents, the books have won numerous awards, including the Laugh Out Loud Picture Book Award, and been shortlisted for many more! This book 'cheats' a bit, all the animals that you can't rhym anything with they just give a name instead that they can.

The jaunty, brightly coloured illustrations make this a joy to share with both toddlers and older children. We read it last night for the first time (reward for our reward rocket chart as per my other reviews), and had a giggle. From music videos and title sequences to illustration and picture books, Jim has worked on a variety of projects. He sat reading aloud and laughing at some of the rhymes - he reads it over and over and gets so much enjoyment for it. His first picture book, ‘Cats Ahoy’ written by Peter Bently won the Booktrust Roald Dahl Funny Prize in 2011.

After time working in London he now lives in the French countryside with his wife and young daughter. the fifth title from the brilliant Oi series created by Kes Gray and Jim Field, which now totals seven books and has sold over one million copies. 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.

You could just dive in at this book and enjoy it but you are missing a load of fun if you skip Oi Dog, Oi Frog, Oi Cat and the short (World Book Day) Oi Goat! Jim has illustrated children's books with Kes Gray, Rachel Bright, Julian Gough, Michelle Robinson, Michael Broad, Jeanne Willis, Steve Cole, comedian David Baddiel and Sir Michael Morpurgo. The only thing I'd say, is as an adult, these are now a bit "samey", but they are helping the boy with his phonics and rhymes so.
