Can Finn find the perfect book?
Let's take a look . . .
The Perfect Book
Finn's best friend Ginny is a true book lover. She curls up and reads from cover to cover.
Will Mr Persnickety help Finn find the perfect book in time for Ginny's birthday? Would she like a book with loopy llamas, impolite pugs, or dinosaur dung?
Jacinta Froud has been writing stories and poems since she was knee high to a grasshopper. That's old people speak for kind of tiny. She is a teacher and a Mum to three children, who love listening to her silly stories and provide constructive criticism when poked. She first worked as a chef and then became a high school teacher and taught in schools around NSW and the ACT. Silly stories are often buzzing around in her head when she should be concentrating on more serious things! More recently Jacinta has been working with local primary school students as an 'Author in Residence'. She often posts updates and inspirations on her instagram page. She is enthusiastic about inspiring young people to write great stories. Gökçe Yava Önal is an illustrator from stanbul, Turkey. She has illustrated several books and also draws illustrations and comics regularly for children's magazines. She has BA and MA degrees in Painting. She loves coffee, birdwatching, plants, bugs, postcards and her cats.
The Perfect Book is a wonderful story, celebrating the magical world of books. Written in rollicking rhyme with bright, fun illustrations, it is sprinkled with the perfect amount of silliness to keep young readers hooked. Sarah Speedie
