Description

Poor old Mr Peek has a bad start to his day! Putting on his son's jacket by mistake, he goes about his daily rounds at the zoo, grumbling about his seemingly growing belly and general appearance. Unbeknownst to Mr Peek, all the animals think he is talking about them and are not particularly happy with what they hear. Mr Peek's son, realising what has happened, trails his dad around the zoo to watch events unfold.

It may all just be a misunderstanding but there's trouble aplenty when Mr Peek visits the zoo in this hilarious picture book.

About the Author

Kevin Waldron was born in Dublin. After deciding that children's book illustration was for him, Kevin found a studio in central London where he works with other illustrators. Kevin's first book, Mr Peek and the Misunderstanding at the Zoo (Templar Publishing), which unveiled Mr Peek, his eccentric and amazing new character, won the Bologna Ragazzi Award Opera Prima Award in 2009. He illustrated Tiny Little Fly (Walker Books) a witty book of rhyme by Michael Rosen, in 2009 before emigrating to America. He now lives in New York.
He was chosen for a Book Trust Best New Illustrators Award in 2011. Kevin works with gouache, pen and ink (he broke lots of nibs making the pink scratches you see on the hippo in Tiny Little Fly!), charcoal, whatever is lying around and whatever he can use to get the texture he is after.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
