Overview
This bright bundle brings together four laugh-out-loud picture books from bestselling author Jeanne Willis, brought to life by illustrator Tony Ross. Blending mischievous farmyard animals, cheeky fairy-tale twists and gentle lessons about life online, the collection is packed with rhyme, humour and heart. Perfect for bedtime reading or for early independent readers, these paperbacks make a brilliant introduction to the Willis and Ross partnership, and a thoughtful gift for any young book lover.
About the Books
In Troll Stinks!, Billy Goat and his best friend Cyril get hold of the farmer's mobile phone and dial up a real, live troll. Convinced by Grandpa Gruff that all trolls are wicked, the pair set out to wind him up with prank messages - but the story turns the old fairy tale on its head with a warm message about not believing everything you hear. Goldilocks gives the classic tale a thoroughly modern makeover: this Goldilocks is obsessed with filming herself for online likes, sneaking into the Bears' house for the perfect content - porridge, chairs and all - until Daddy Bear catches the footage. Chicken Clicking follows an inquisitive hen who discovers the farmer's computer and starts shopping and chatting online for the whole farm, only to learn a sharp lesson about talking to strangers on the internet. Finally, Old Macdonald Had a Phone reimagines the nursery rhyme for the digital age, as every animal on the farm gets their own mobile and chaos - and a flurry of texts, tweets and selfies quickly follows. Each story pairs Willis's witty, rhythmic text with Ross's expressive illustrations, tackling online safety and screen time in a way that entertains first and sparks great conversations between children and grown-ups.
