Description
A playful and chaotic riot of animal naughtiness from picture book master Jeanne Willis.
Naughty features Nigel, who’s done a naughty thing, and is giving it some thought in a quiet spot. But it gets hard to focus as he quickly becomes surrounded by wild, animal naughtiness! Mole has been ruining the lawns, Bull’s been charging around with his horns... even Daddy admits it’s hard to be perfect all the time! But can you guess what naughty thing Nigel has done?
Each scene gets wilder and wilder as the chaos builds, and Paddy Donnelly's brilliantly engaging pictures provide so much wacky detail to spot.
