  Pandamonium shortlisted for The People’s Book prize!

  Pandamonium has been shortlisted in the children's section of The People's Book Prize for Autumn 2011.

  
  'As the zoo keeper snored, the great lion roared, and the octopus borrowed the keys. With tentacles nimble, he found it quite simple, to open the lock with some ease.’

  Children will delight in watching the zoo keeper sleep as the animals around him cause pandamonium! Fantastic illustrations by award-winning artist, Mark Chambers bring each of the animal’s characteristics to life and humorous text by Dan Crisp ensure that each spread is bursting with mischievous fun!

  Reviews:

  ‘Of all of the alphabet books I have seen, When I Dream of ABC has my vote as the most fun to read with small children.’ The Telegraph Magazine.

  ‘Henry Fisher's illustrations sit beautifully alongside the text, with a unique and quirky style that's hard to define. There are hints of collage, hints of dreamscapes, big, bold characters, and gorgeous textures. Every page is a joy to look at, and gets better each time you read through it. The text alone would be super, the pictures alone would be super, but put the two together and you've got something very special indeed. Highly recommended.’ The Bookbag

  Lovereading4Kids’s top ten book of 2010.

  ‘A rare treat! I haven’t enjoyed a book as much as this in a very long time.’ Apple Juice Radio.

  ‘For babies and toddlers, When I Dream of ABC is a beautifully illustrated, soothing book by Henry Fisher, with gentle rhymes and vivid characters, such as chocolate-eating vampires and opera-singing mermaids.’ The Irish Independent.
