Oi Cat!: Kes Gray (Oi Frog and Friends)

Product Information

It may seem like a simple task at first, but in some cases the sneaky little creatures can be very difficult to find. Not many children's books create a universe in which the characters inhabit, but Gray has achieved it.

Why we like this book: It forces you to say the most preposterous things and is lots of fun to read aloud.

After that you are free to continue to the next picture or to share your progress on social media if you’d like. In this video I'll show you how to draw Cyril the squirrel from the picture book ' The Squirrels Who Squabbled' written by Rachel Bright.

It’s a brilliant premise that can run and run, and with such appealing illustrations from Jim Field and such clever rhymes from Kes Gray, here’s hoping it does. The combination of Gray's writing and Field's illustrations work wonderfully once again, no matter what Gray fires at Field, he can draw it. It’s still going strong and has helped me to transform Flora into a wide variety of non-human characters on World Book Day – including, memorably, a cute little Hungry Caterpillar.

Children (and adults) will love the increasingly silly seating arrangements, and the ending will have everyone laughing.
