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.

Kes believes children's books should be a happy marriage between a great idea and a very talented illustrator: demonstrated perfectly by his partnership with Jim Field. Younger readers will love hearing the story and older ones will enjoy the challenge of trickier vocabulary in the book.

Using the strange names and often stranger appearance of animals, this funny, rhyming, read-aloud picture book, will amuse both children and parents and perhaps inspired a few poets in the making.

Jim Field’s hilarious and boldly-coloured illustrations make for a striking collection of prints, perfect for nurseries or bedrooms. 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.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.
