Book Synopsis

A bouncing, read-aloud rhyme about all the things a child can be, from the nation''s favourite illustrator, Quentin Blake!

Here is SIMPKIN
Simpkin FAST and Simpkin SLOW

Simpkin is a mass of contradictions. He can be nasty and nice; weak and strong and sensible and silly - ALL at the same time! And when you really need him most - he''s nowhere to be found . . .

Blake is beyond brilliant . . . I''ve never met a child who doesn''t love Quentin Blake - Daily Telegraph

Quentin Blake is one of Britain''s best-loved and most successful author-illustrators, and was made the first Children''s Laureate in 1999. He has won the Whitbread Award, the Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration, and the Kate Greenaway Medal. among others.
