Teapot Trouble: A Duck and Tiny Horse Adventure

Description

"It's a hoot." - The Sunday Times. Perfect for reading aloud, Teapot Trouble is a warm and silly picture book that children (and adults) will find hilarious. Something or someone is living inside Duck's teapot! Who are they? What do they want? How will we get them out? Never fear, for Tiny Horse is here! Tiny Horse has a trampoline. She has a magnificent hat. She has a stick of celery. What more could anyone need to save the day? A laugh-out-loud story with a message about kindness, starring Duck and Tiny Horse, the brilliantly funny duo from Spaghetti Hunters, described by the Sunday Times as 'wacky and funny'. Morag Hood is the award-winning creator of When Grandad Was a Penguin, The Steves and I Am Bat.

Morag Hood has a unique voice. Her idiosyncratic, wry humour permeates everything she does, creating books of style and irresistible charm. Colin and Lee, Carrot and Pea was a runner-up in The Macmillan Prize for Illustration, marking a glorious picture book debut. Morag spent her childhood writing stories, painting, and dreaming of having a pet duck. Following a degree in Costume Design from Wimbledon College of Art, and an MA in Children's Book Illustration from the Cambridge School of Art, Morag returned to live in her native Edinburgh with her husband. She still likes making stories, printing, cutting and sticking, and freshly sharpened pencils. Her self-authored books include Colin and Lee, Carrot and Pea, When Grandad was a Penguin, I Am Bat, The Steves , Aalfred and Aalbert and Brenda is a Sheep, and she is also the author of Sophie Johnson: Unicorn Expert, illustrated by Ella Okstad.

If you've ever been faced with the problem of how to coax a crab out of a teapot, this is the book for you. And if not, enjoy it for the lively images and very funny characterisation of a tiny officious horse and a more practical duck. It's a hoot. -- Nicolette Jones * Sunday Times *
