James O'Brien uses potatoes to make marvellous, bold, animal characters—with attitude—who star in this brilliant debut picture book. Get ready for a kaleidoscope of big, bright, bold colours, as James O’Brien’s distinctive potato-printed illustrations and funny quips help children navigate a range of feelings and emotions‚ from fabulous and joyful to bored and vain. These great characters explore feelings with humour and pathos, building self-awareness and knowledge of the world.
Each feeling is explored through the eyes of a particular animal, providing much scope for discussion between caregiver and child.
