Books with author Warnes Tim

Appearances can be deceptive in this quirky, funny picture book from award-winning author-illustrator Tim Warnes (MONTY AND MILLI - THE TOTALLY AMAZING MAGIC TRICK, I DON’T WANT TO GO TO BED!). Children will love this funny story about surprises, labels and a very unlikely friendship. Packed with adjectives, it’s fantastic for expanding your child’s vocabulary too! Mole loves labelling things, but when he comes across a strange thing, he doesn’t know what to call it. It’s lumpy and bumpy, and has snippy-snappy teeth. Could it be dangerous? Look out, Mole! Reviews "Packed with new words to learn, use and love, bold, bright and colourful illustrations, and a story that glows with fun, warmth and affection, this enchanting book is ideal for reading and sharing." -- Pam Norfolk Lancaster Evening Post "...A charming lesson in the perils of judging a book by its cover or, in this instance, a crocodile by its 'long scaly lips and snippy-snappy teeth'." -- Rebecca Davies The Independent "A quirky and unusual story which is a great way to encourage children to develop language skills (although they will think they are just having fun!). It's full of surprises and is a lovely story of friendship." Parents in Touch
