***Competition now closed the winner is siobhan Williams**
Written by award-winning Giles Andreae, author of Captain Flinn and the Pirate Dinosaurs and KateGreenaway winning illustrator Korky Paul, of Winnie the Witch fame this book was destined to be rather fabulous. Bottoms, knights and evil baddies (all the things bound to appeal to a little scamp) are the themes in Sir Scallywag and the Golden Underpants. Bound to appeal to young boys it had my daughter in stitches too. It is very funny.
King Colin has some rather fabulous golden underpants and they go missing. He’s distraught…
I’m lost without my underpants
My umderpants of gold
and besides its rather draughty
and my bottoms getting cold
Sir Scallywag, an unlikely hero, (age six) comes gallantly to his rescue and take on the giant who had pinched them to wear on this head. It is a very funny-poem story that rhymes becutifully and that will really make you chukle. The pictures are superb, full of comic details and the more you look the more you will see.
Sir Scallywag and the Golden underpants is an out and out delight and a real pleasure to read out loud.
This book is on general release on February 2nd.
