THE DAY THAT A RAN AWAY.

THE DAY THAT A RAN AWAY by B.C.R. FEGAN (With illustrations by LENNY WEN).

Master Jet has forgotten to complete his homework... or has he? Jet's teacher is surprised to find that instead of the alphabet, his page is completely blank. Jet tries to explain that it really isn't his fault. After all, how can he help it, if none of his letters want to stay on the page!

READ FOR A CHALLENGE? ... No.

MY THOUGHTS ... After numbers in Don’t Ever Look Behind Door 32, the talented duo that is B.C.R. Fegan and Lenny Wen turn their hands to what else but the alphabet in a book that, clever and imaginative; written in rhyme with glorious illustrations and, of course, that little twist at the end which is sure to raise a smile, is one of the best of its kind.

The rhymes (admittedly the occasional one a little odd to my adult ears) are fun and flow well with a sing-song feel about them; a must as anyone who has ever read a book over and over again (as will doubtlessly happen here) knows only too well.

The illustrations take the form of colourful, eye-catching monsters in a way that is sure to appeal to the little, err, monsters in your life, the letters A through to Z given a life all of their own as they decide not to help Master Jet's endeavours to complete his homework, each having their own reasons for not showing up.

Have a child who struggles to learn their letters, who thinks their ABC boring? You may have to look no further ....
