Simon’s new book ‘Frog and Beaver is published today, below is a review from Lovereading4kids.com
Lovereading4kids: ‘From the best-selling author of classics such as Dear Greenpeace and Leon and Bob, Frog and Beaver is a beautiful book about friendship, tolerance and respect. Frog is delighted when Beaver moves in nearby and immediately welcomes him as a friend. But Beaver’s determination to build the biggest and best dam ever causes all sorts of upset to the other river creatures, and eventually to Beaver himself. Fortunately Frog is on hand to help and to show Beaver how he can make everything perfect again, including his new dam. The different animal characters are full of personality while the river bank setting is beautifully realised in Simon James’s watercolour illustrations. There’s a great deal for children to enjoy and to think about in this compact little adventure story. ~ Andrea Reece, Lovereading4kids.’
