Author Biography

Sam Taplin grew up in a beautiful valley in Yorkshire, where he dreamed of being a writer, and after three years reading other people's books at university he started writing his own for Usborne. He's been doing it ever since. When he's not writing about lonely rabbits or inquisitive bears, he likes doing card tricks, writing songs and playing long games of chess by the fire.

Reviews

Every little boy of a certain age is going to want one of these. * Becky Stradwick, Senior Children's Buyer, Borders * My particular favourite has to the the Farmyard Tales Noisy Wind-up Fire Engine. A multitrack book complete with the most satisfyingly loud siren on the market. So what if parents are driven mad on Boxing Day? Every little boy of a certain age is going to want one of these. * Publishing News - Becky Stradwick, Senior Children's Buyer at Borders * This hoot of a book comes with a small plastic wind-up fire engine which scoots around three different tracks - but it's a bit more than a racetrack between covers. Each track is accompanied by a story chronicling some of the different events fire fighters get called out to. Beware of the loud siren which had my toddler smiling but me and his mother wincing after several minutes! * The Shetland Times * We don't sell an Usborne book that isn't a real winner, and this one surely is. Three fire engine stories with a twist each with a sturdy track embedded in the pages and a wind-up fire engine to bring the stories to life. Also a siren button. Please come and take them off our hands before we are driven to distraction! * Warwick Books & Kenilworth Books' October Newsletter *
