Oi Puppies!; Kes Gray, illustrated by Jim Field

Oi Puppies is more brilliance, mayhem and rhyme from Kes Gray and Jim Field.

Dog is looking after some rather noisy and boisterous puppies who won’t sit. Everyone knows that puppies are meant to sit on guppies, right? The puppies are causing all sort of mayhem and mischief; they are climbing on Dog, hanging off Cat’s whiskers and chewing Frog’s swimming trunks. When Frog can’t take it any longer he decides something has to be done. Can Frog come up with a rhyming plan to stop the madness?

This book had my attention from the opening, “Oi! Oi! Oi!.” It is packed with all the fun and charm that readers of Kes Gray & Jim Field's previous books (Oi Frog, Oi Dog, etc) have come to know and love. 

The read is a delight for both the eyes and the ears (makes for a great read-a-loud). The pages are bright and colourful with large and bold illustrations and the rhyming is hilarious…”Tiddle is on a fiddle, Smudge is on some fudge and Cheeky is on some tzatziki.”

Sure to become a regular read and one that will have readers in fits of giggles time and time again.

Recommended for 4+.
