Seen and Not Heard

The children of Shiverhawk Hall are to be seen and not heard... So what do you think they get up to when no one's around?! Pillow fights and midnight feasts (starting with pudding of course!) but they must be back in the nursery before sunrise.




This is a lovely book to read aloud, the words skip, stop and rhyme over the pages. Every little detail has been thought about in this delightful picture book, the names of the children alone make the book pretty darn cool:
Lily and Percy Pinksweet
Billy Fitzbillian III
Lila and Vila DeVillechild
Prudence, Peter and Pearl Plumsey

Katie May Green's illustration is so soft, with sweeping neutral colours throughout and cheeky grins from all the children. Katie got some of her inspiration from old Victorian paintings of children - see her post on Walker Books' website here

Oh and don't forget to look out for the black cat on nearly every page and the teeny tiny mice!

Seen and Not Heard by Katie May Green is published by Walker Books in hardback at £11.99 and is available at all good bookshops and at waterstones.com
