Max and Chaffy: Welcome to Animal Island!

Product Information

Jamie Smart studied art at college for four years, but it was just an excuse to practise drawing animals with boggly-eyes. His comic Fish-Head Steve was the first work of its sort to be shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize. Jamie has illustrated comics for the Sunday Times, The Dandy, The Beano, and Toxic magazine, as well as regularly publishing his well-loved Bunny vs Monkey and Looshkin stories in The Phoenix comic, and as graphic novels for children. He is also the author/illustrator of the middle-grade book series, Flember. Sunny’s favourite game is Super Rabbit Boy, where his carrot-loving friend must thwart all the plots the evil King Viking of Boom. A super full-colour series from Thomas Flintham, best known here in the UK for his illustrations for Pamela Butchart’s Baby Aliens series. This one has a dual narrative, so best for the top end of KS1 and into KS2. Two contrasting styles are used for the everyday story and the game narrative, which has a retro feel. You can see Thomas talking about this series in conversation with Nikki Gamble on The Book Channel. Forced to take up a museum internship to pay for car repairs, 16-year-old Ojibwe citizen Perry Firekeeper-Birch finds herself unexpectedly enthralled by what she learns on the job. When she discovers that a local university has been holding on to the bones of an ancestor called Warrior Girl, instead of returning them to her tribe, Perry and her fellow “Misfits” are determined to bring them home – even if that requires a heist. From the award-winning author of Firekeeper’s Daughter, this superb YA thriller interweaves compelling action with a sense of the Native Americans’ long fight for their own history.

Max has just moved to Animal Island and it’s full of new friends: Orlando, Crumbs, Moose, Pedalo and a very special creature called a CHAFFY . . . Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing - I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly! I really enjoyed Max and Chaffy: Cupcake Mystery. This book is ideal for 6 and 7 year olds and even though I’m in Year 3, I still enjoyed the story and activities. I loved this book because you had to find Chaffy and if you don’t know who Chaffy is, he is a little snowball with ears and he’s very funny. At the end of every chapter, you need to find Chaffy who will be hidden in a fun picture and it gets harder and harder as you move onto every chapter. Best friends are the BEST! But WHO is the BEST? Is it Pizza or Taco? The question is debatable! They both love water slides. They both are friends with Hot Dog and Hamburger. In fact, maybe they should have a debate and get their friends to VOTE for who’s the best! Can their friendship survive the race for the top spot on the popularity food chain?Humour and friendship are recurring themes, often featuring comic duos. Bumble and Snug is written specifically to develop emotional literacy, but not at the expense of a good story children want to read. Find out more
