LoveReading4Kids Says
Steve Smallman is a master of the poo-filled plotline, no mean boast when you consider just how much children love the smelly brown stuff (in books anyway). We’re happily knee-deep in poo in this adventure – cows, horses, chickens, they’re all producing it and as for the sheep – they ‘pop pellets out rat-a-tat-a-tat’! Famer Jill points out it’s good for the land, but is less happy when someone plops on the top of her new hairdo. Amongst the manure, Smallman tells a proper story when the rooster ingeniously and comically foils a fox attack on the henhouse, and Florence Weisner’s illustrations give the farm animals real character. Good smelly fun! ~ Andrea Reece

Steve Smallman on Steve Smallman:
"I started working as an illustrator when I was in my final year at Art College and now, over 28 years later I still haven't got a proper job! I've illustrated literally hundreds of books, predominantly in educational publishing. A few years ago I was main illustrator for Longman's 'Story Street' reading scheme, illustrating 79 titles and writing 5.
I've worked in children's television, specifically in character development and most notably in the 'Raggy Doll' series in the mid to late 1980's. I have also done a certain amount of licensed work, illustrating characters such as Postman Pat, Bill and Ben and Sesame Street.
I've been described as an 'Animal Artist', not I hasten to add because I'm wild and hairy but because I love to draw animals and especially like to give them human characteristics.
I've got 4 great children and although they're all adults now, my memories of them growing up inspire and inform my writing."
