Armadillo and Hare

Description

Armadillo and Hare live with their friends in the Big Forest. Hare loves dancing. Armadillo loves cheese sandwiches. Hare loves playing the tuba. Armadillo loves cheese sandwiches. Hare loves his best friend, Armadillo. Armadillo loves Hare-AND cheese sandwiches! They have quite a mix of friends, including an acrobatic wombat, a know-it-all lobster, a hungry jaguar, and (let's not forget) the invisible stick insect.

Jeremy Strong has been writing for children for more than forty years and has published over a hundred titles, many of which have been translated. His work is much used in schools as the humour he employs have proved a great way to lure children into a love of reading. He also talks in schools and book festivals world-wide, pushing the joys of both reading and writing. At one time or another he has worked in offices, put the jam in doughnuts, been a petrol attendant and he also taught for 16 years until he managed to write his way out of it. He claims his hobbies are sleeping and eating crusty bread but really he likes mooching around galleries or indeed just mooching around. He is married to Gillie and has a son and daughter, two step-daughters, six grandchildren, four hens and an increasingly famous cat, Jeeves. They live near Bath. Rebecca Bagley is a freelance illustrator and book designer, currently based in Bath, England.
