<p>"Bess looked at Frog's revolting skin</p><p>And gulped as something deep within</p><p>Did threaten to regurgitate</p><p>The food she'd had on lunchtime's plate!"</p><p>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!   </p><p>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!</p><p>Well known children’s illustrator Laura Liberatore adds a delightful set of illustrations to give a charming insight into the characters’ appearances and emotions.</p><p>We’d love to hear your feedback! Please email Carolyn directly at carolynalmay@hotmail.com. </p>
