Both Alfie and Kitty have adored Chris Haughton’s previous books – I read A Bit Lost to A an average of three times a day for about a year and now K is similarly obsessed with Oh No, George! (every reading accompanied by melodramatic head shaking). So when his new book plopped onto the doormat there was a bit of a scuffle. It was quickly resolved and we all sat down to read it together. Shh! We Have a Plan (Walker, RRP £11.99) an entertaining tale of hapless hunters being bamboozled by birds with plenty of repetition and humour to keep both a 20 month old and nearly five year old amused. And, of course, this against the backdrop of Haughton’s distinctive illustrations, which are divine.
