Best loved, classic nursery stories are vividly brought to life in this humorous audio CD edition. Follow the charmingly agile goats as they trip-trott over the bridge having dispatched the hairy troll SPLASH into the river with a well-aimed kick. Enjoy how the three little pigs keep their houses safe from the predatory wolf and hear how Little Red-Riding Hood is outwitted by another wolf as she visits her grandma but is saved in the end. Also available is the companion title My Favourite Nursery Rhymes .
A collection of nursery stories including favourites such as "The Three Billy Goats Gruff", "Henny-Penny", "The Gingerbread Man", "Three Little Pigs", "The Enormous Turnip", "Little Red Riding Hood", "Jack and the Beanstalk" and "Goldilocks".
Born in 1938 in Wandsworth, South London, Tony Ross never though about a career in art, but says he fell into it after his dream of being a cowboy disintegrated when a letter he wrote to John Wayne was never replied to.
After Liverpool College of Art, Tony became an art director at an Advertising Agency but after a particularly bad day in the office he gave up his job to go into teaching at Manchester Polytechnic.
His first book was published in 1976 and as well as his own, he has illustrated over 1000 books for authors such as Roald Dahl, David Walliams, Paula Danziger and Michael Palin, which are published all over the world. His series of books written with Jeanne Willis featuring the extra terrestrial teacher, Dr Xargle, has established a huge following of fans. As has his fantastic and fun illustrations in the Horrid Henry series. A TV adaptation of his much-loved Little Princess series is currently showing on Channel 5’s Milkshake.
