Make a Face

Allan Ahlberg and Colin McNaughton

Two books from the popular 'Red Nose Reader' series now in a larger and, thank goodness, better bound format. These are more extended jokes or cartoons than story books. The pictures are integral parts of the text and the brief one or two words are bound up with them in the same way that a cartoon caption is bound up with the drawing. Very clever, very witty and irresistible to immature readers as they really do 'read themselves'. I've heard complaints that they are vulgar, but that, without doubt, is half their attraction! Especially successful with very slow lower juniors.
