A hilarious new Rover adventure for young readers from the Booker Prize-winning author Roddy Doyle and illustrated by Chris Judge.
Bestselling author Roddy Doyle is acclaimed across the world. He
was born in Dublin in 1958 and still lives there today. Much of his
work is set in the city and is about the unexpected, and often
challenging, lives of ordinary Irish people - but it appeals to
readers all over the world.
Roddy Doyle has won many prizes for his writing. These include the
Booker Prize (for which he has also been shortlisted), and a BAFTA
for Best Screenplay. He has also won the Irish Children's Book of
the Year and was shortlisted for the prestigious 2013 CILIP
Carnegie Medal. His novel The Commitments was turned into a
blockbuster film directed by Alan Parker and opened as an
award-winning musical in Dublin and in London in 2013, directed by
Jamie Lloyd. His latest adult novel, The Guts, a sequel to his
renowned Barrytown trilogy, was published to critical acclaim in
summer 2013.
Rover and the Big Fat Baby is the fourth title in the Giggler
series and is Roddy's eighth children's book.
