Publisher and industry reviews

Jacket review

Percy's Bumpy Ride: 'Imaginatively detailed illustrations and just the right amount of suspense.' Practical Parenting The Rescue Party: '!it's good for reading aloud to under-fives, and later the six-pluses will still want to read it themselves.' The Independent on Sunday One Snowy Night 'A heartwarming bedtime tale!' Susan Hill, The Independent After the Storm: '!look no further for the best present for any child from two to six.' Susan Hill, The Sunday Times

UK Kirkus review

Percy is busy in his workshop building a new lawnmower and the animals are excited. But the fan, which is meant to keep him and his passengers cool, acts as a propeller and the animals and Percy are off on another adventure of their own. Butterworth can do no wrong. Percy the Park Keeper and his adventures are always a delight, and this is no exception, keeping the children guessing right up to the end. Percy the eccentric park keeper has great empathy with his animal friends - always treating them like a gentle school teacher - and although things always take a turn for the worse, it always comes right in the end. The illustrations with the surprise fold-out page are enchanting. One to add to the collection. (Kirkus UK)
