A deserved winner of the excellent Little Rebels Award for radical children’s books (https://littlerebelsaward.wordpress.com/2016/05/09/alexis-deacon-invites-children-to-come-up-with-an-alternative-to-capitalism/ ), this beautiful picture book made me roar with laughter.
Henry Finch is a small bird who comes to realise that he exists, and thinks, and that he can use his thoughts to tackle THE BEAST. It’s an introduction to philosophy for toddlers and small children… but also just very entertaining, with deceptively simple and funny drawings. Definitely a book for adults as well as children. Superb.
