  • By Dr.Seuss) Brad Peterson, Publicity & Promotions Coordinator
    Our Fav, ourite Childrens Books! To celebrate World Book Day 2018, we asked a few members of the Jolly Team about their favourite children’s books... Fantastic Mr Fox (by Roald Dahl) Jonathan Partington, Sales Director “Easy winner; Fantastic Mr Fox. I know you don’t need to know why as it is so obviously the best kids book ever written, by the best children’s author to have ever lived, illustrated (eventually) by a genius with coloured pens, but in case anyone has had the misfortune to miss the Fantastic Mr Fox... The book has it all, a hero, evil villains, teamwork and adventure. Mr Fox is as his name suggests, fantastic. He is the perfect hero, he has his faults but his daring, charm and skills shine through so he can save the day. Which, as luck would have it is exactly what he does. Having put his whole community at risk by being just a little too good at being a fox, he gets his gang together and leads them all to a famous, fantastic victory, while the baddies are left sitting out in the cold!” Oh, the Places Youll, Go! (by Dr.Seuss) Brad Peterson, Publicity & Promotions Coordinator “You have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.” “I didn’t actually discover this book until I was an adult, but it’s easily my favourite. Aside from Dr. Seuss’ lyrical genius - entertaining yet incredibly easy to read - the message is really powerful, even for adults.

Her sense of injustice makes her angry and through her anger she develops a special power - not dissimilar to Matilda Wormwood, another of Roald's young female protagonists. Roald was The Magic Finger much against animal cruelty and his story reflects this, as the girl turns the tables on the Greggs and their love of hunting.
