The next hilarious picture book from the author and illustrator of Good Knight, Bad Knight.
A new hilarious picture book from Tom Knight, author and illustrator of "Good Knight, Bad Knight". Jimmy Finnigan wants to start a band but when no one wants to join, he decides to venture into the wild wood to seek out new band members... Ages: 0-5yrs
Jimmy Finnigan Lives in the nicest village in the world. The grass is neat, the people are neat and Muffington's cake shop has been serving exactly the same cakes since 1923. Everything changes when Jimmy goes into his parents loft in search of a 'nice board game'. There he finds their old record collection. From then on, he wants to form a band. Every time he puts a poster up advertising for fellow band members it is taken down, but not before the creatures living in the Wild Wood see it. Jimmy and the Wild Wood beasts form a band and when the townsfolk enter the woods to rescue Jimmy they find themselves dancing wildly to the music. From then on the village is a changed place: 'It's still a really nice place to live, but now it's just a little bit wild too.'
This is an attractively illustrated picture book that captures the spirit of the prim and proper village and contrasting witchy darkness of the Wild Woods. Children could create their own 'wild' music by considering how to emanate the sounds of the forest with percussion instruments.
