Book of the week - The Great Snortle Hunt by Claire Freedman

The Great Snortle Hunt is a rhyming picture book about three friends who set off for the creepy house where the snortle lives.  The cadence of the text adds to the tension of their adventure.  It is a great gently scary book.  The illustrations work well with the story and on some pages there is lots to look and talk about.  Luath is at a stage where sometimes she says things includes books are too scary, even to very gentle  books, but interestingly she hasn’t once said this book was too scary to read.

Claire Freedman is one of the authors on Aliens in Underpants and the follow up underpants books.
