Oliver Who Travelled Far and Wide

'Oliver Donnington Rimington-Sneep, tossed and turned and woke from his sleep. Though Bat and Owl and Fox were there, he couldn't see Ted anywhere.' And so Oliver, in his latest adventure, sets off in search of Ted, a search that will take him, by train, past jungle, through desert and up mountains.

This is another wonderful story from an award-winning team and a highly recommended addition to a nursery's book collection. Superb rhyming text is matched by brilliant illustrations, and it will take a lot of use before the sturdy cover starts to look nibbled.

Children will be drawn in by the muted colours and their attention will be held by the mix of simple, bold spreads, fine assortments of pattern and picture sequences that add detail to the narrative.
