Can't Catch Me!
(Puffin Books)
978-0140505269, RRP £3.50, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
This doesn't really live up to the promise of the artist's first book On Friday Something Funny Happened which was outstanding. Can't Catch Me! is Jack's cry as he dashes away from the increasing chain of adults who chase after him in his attempts to avoid his bedtime bath - something which becomes an absolute necessity in the end. Somehow the story fails to come to life despite some robust illustrations and the oft-repeated catch phrase. A disappointment.
