About the author

Hi, I live in North Wales with my lovely wife, Vicky. She's a librarian and spends lots of her time sharing stories and leading Rhymetime sessions with toddlers in local libraries.

I've written just over 100 books for young children and I'm busy writing more. When I'm not writing or spending time with my family I can usually be found visiting schools and libraries all over the place to share my love of books, reading and writing and getting children excited about the very same thing.

Why not come over and take a look at my website to find out more, follow me on Twitter or just email me to say hi! It'll be nice to hear from you...

A cute childrens story. The illustrations were bright and colorful. Although the ending was not what I was expecting. Not friendly to animal lovers. A cute story nonetheless. A sweet tale at the end though about snails.
