"Bess looked at Frog's revolting skin And gulped as something deep within Did threaten to regurgitate The food she'd had on lunchtime's plate!" A collection of five hilarious stories in rhyme, for children aged 6 - 10, about animals trying their very best to do human jobs, but with unfortunate consequences!

"Bess looked at Frog's revolting skin And gulped as something deep within Did threaten to regurgitate The food she'd had on lunchtime's plate!" A collection of five hilarious stories in rhyme, for children aged 6 - 10, about animals trying their very best to do human jobs, but with unfortunate consequences! Meet Freddie the horse, who has always wanted to be a famous football referee, but who finds himself up against the fury of the greatest player ever known; Ray, the kindly lion hairdresser who has a terrible accident with two horrid customers; Rose, the canine detective out to rescue the Queen's stolen jewels from a rather smelly thief; the would-be Frog-Prince determined to get his maiden even though she refuses to kiss his slimy skin; and Doctor Owl, who prescribes a disgusting diet to encourage a fussy eater to mend his ways! Author Carolyn May was originally inspired by Roald Dahl as a child and has now written these stories in tribute to the enormous pleasure his books gave her when a youngster herself. She thinks her animals might possibly be even a bit more troublesome though! Well known children's illustrator Laura Liberatore adds a delightful set of illustrations to give a charming insight into the characters' appearances and emotions. We'd love to hear your feedback!
