Whiffy Wilson

Description

There was a wolf called Wilson who never brushed his hair. He never washed his paws or face or changed his underwear. Will anyone be able to persuade Whiffy Wilson to change his grotty ways for something far less stinky Peew! Let's hope so. A fantastically funny verse from the brilliant Caryl Hart, with grubby-but-great illustrations from the hugely talented illustrator of The Dirty Great Dinosaur.

Caryl Hart is the author of several books for children, including Don't Dip Your Chips in Your Drink, Kate! winner of the Sheffield Children's Book Award 2010 and the Community Libraries Favourite Book Award 2010. Caryl lives on the top of a windy hill in the Peak District with her guitar-playing husband, two cheeky daughters, one extremely fluffy black cat, a goldfish, four hens and an invisible dog called Paddy. Leonie Lord studied illustration at Central St Martins College, London. Since graduating, she has produced regular editorial work for newspapers such as The Sunday Telegraph and The Guardian. Leonie has a young family, which has recently renewed her love of children's books.
