Jill from Red Reading Hub has given us a treat with her review of Alex Willmore‘s picture book, It’s MY Sausage:
One fat juicy sausage, five cats all with designs on it. The mustard coloured moggy lays claim, having so we hear ‘seen it first’ but has decided to delay gratification.
A dramatic comedy then unfolds as the others endeavour to procure the desired item by means of a rod and line, a ball of wool … and some acrobatics.
Deceptively simple and hugely expressive illustrations of the rival felines tell much of the story along with a brief discourse provided by mustard moggy and punctuated with descriptive onomatopoeic sound effects and exclamations by the competing cats.
A hugely entertaining romp of a picture book.
