Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Stars

Description

Following on from the terrific success of "A Wayne in a Manger", Gervase Phinn has collected together from his bestselling Dales books his favourite stories about children, and included some poems from his popular Puffin poetry books. In this humorously illustrated book, the stories have one thing in common - the wonderfully funny (and usually innocent) things that children say. Whether they are stories about children who cannot read very well but know the names of many breeds of sheep or children who are more privileged (coming to school in a Wolls-Woyce), they are simply delightful. This heart-warming book will not only enchant you, it will make you look at life through a child's eyes - and that's quite a special thing.

Gervase Phinn is a teacher, freelance lecturer, author, poet, schools inspector, educational consultant, and visiting professor of education -- but none of these is as important to him as his family. Over the years, Gervase taught in a range of schools before moving to North Yorkshire where he spent 10 years as a schools inspector. As well as writing for adults, Gervase is also a successful children's author published by Puffin. He lives with his family near Doncaster.
