The World-Famous Cheese Shop Break-In!

Author: Sean TaylorIllustrator: Hannah Shaw

Daddypops has got a plan. It’s the World-Famous Cheese Shop Break-In. Again! But when walking through the front door fails, and being shot out of a catapult misses the mark it’s time to come up with a plan that actually works. The children have their own idea – how about  opening their own shop instead of breaking into someone else’s? But disillusioned Daddypops is already set on digging. It still doesn’t work, but sometimes a failed tunnel can create a different kind of breakthrough!

A surprise ending gives this fun picture book a cheeky twist in the tale. Children will love Daddy’s rubbish plans and the idea that the  children are the brains all along. Hannah Shaw is brilliant at drawing rascally rodents and her illustrations complement Sean Taylor’s first- person narrative beautifully. Taylor has the magic touch when it comes to picture book writing and this clever viewpoint takes this story to the next level. He is a name to look out for!
