Amazon Review

A storm is raging through the park causing Percy, the park keeper, to have a sleepless night worrying about the damage being done to his beloved park. When he gets up the next morning he finds the old oak tree has been blown down. This is a disaster for all his animal friends who used the tree as their home. Fortunately, Percy is on hand to help find them a new place to live.

The simple text and expressive illustrations perfectly combine to create a picture storybook that is ideal for reading aloud to young children. The poster-sized gatefold at the end is an added surprise and is a superb example of Nick Butterworth's skills as an illustrator. (Ages 2 to 6) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

After the Storm:
‘…look no further for the best present for any child from two to six.’ Susan Hill, The Sunday Times

The Rescue Party:
‘…it’s good for reading aloud to under-fives, and later the six-pluses will still want to read it themselves.’ The Independent on Sunday

Percy’s Bumpy Ride:
‘Imaginatively detailed illustrations and just the right amount of suspense.’ Practical Parenting

One Snowy Night
‘A heartwarming bedtime tale…’ Susan Hill, The Independent

5.0 out of 5 stars Percy after the storm 19 April 2011
By S. Widdows
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Another gift for my 3 year old g'daughter to get her away from 'in the night garden'. This is spot on for a thrilling adventure with all the old favourites. I love the maps too. Much more interesting than soft toys mucking about and speaking incomprehensibly. Delivered quickly too.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bit wordy. Does that make sense in a children's book?
I bought this off the back of 'One Snowy Night' which we really enjoyed. 'After the storm' is a bit weak in comparison. Read more
