From the one-and-only Pamela Allen comes a new adventure in the life of loveable Mr McGee. With its jaunty rhyme and lively illustrations, this is Pam at her classic best.
Pamela Allen is a phenomenon in the world of children's literature.
Since her first publication in 1980, her picture books have
enchanted generations of children around the world, and have
garnered a glittering array of awards and commendations including
six Children's Book Council of Australia Book of the Year Awards,
two New South Wales Premier's Literary Awards, an International
Board on Books for Young People Diploma for Illustration, the
Margaret Mahy Medal, New Zealand's most prestigious award for
children's literature, and most recently The Gaylene Gordon Award
for a Much Loved Book from the Children's Literature Foundation of
New Zealand.
Pamela's books are full of the music of language; they are
'fragments of theatre', designed to be read aloud and shared
between an adult and a child. Patch Theatre Company of Adelaide has
created three theatrical performances from a selection of Pamela's
books. These have toured throughout Australia and New Zealand,
performing to packed houses.
'From Pamela Allen's first publication in 1980 it was clear that
here was a creator of picture books with all the glow, gesture, din
and dance to capture the attention, engage the imagination, teach,
show, tickle and excite small children.' Meg Sorensen, Australian
Book Review
