Biographical note
Simon was born in Chichester in 1988 and has lived there ever since. After studying History at Exeter University, he decided to become a primary school teacher. Teaching rekindled his love of children's books, so much so that he decided to have a go at writing his own. He is the author of I Don't Know What to Call my Cat, You Must Bring a Hat, and the Waterstones Prize shortlisted I Really Want the Cake. Ian Smith studied for a BA in Illustration at the University of the West of England and has been illustrating ever since. He is the illustrator of Wanna See a Penguin? and Wanna See a Llama? written by Simon Philip (OUP)."A truly delightful story... the illustrations are bright and energetic... the text works extremely well, making this a really good choice for reading aloud"
Margaret Pemberton, The School Librarian
"This fun, bright and informative picture book straddles the balance between fiction and nonfiction"

"A wild and wacky story about animal recognition to be shared and enjoyed..."
Mike Davies, Teach Early Years
"Written with Philip's trademark wit, warmth and exuberance, and harnessing all the fun of the pantomime convention of 'it's behind you', this action-packed adventure puts fun, friendship and animal recognition at centre stage."
Pam Norfolk, Lancashire Post
"Sharing in the classroom or at home, this book, and indeed the series, will provide children with just the right mix of magic, adventure, and excitement to keep them coming back for more."
Jill Bennett, Red Reading Hub
