Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The Treasure Hunt is a book in Nick Butterworth's Percy the Park Keeper series. The story combines pleasant illustrations with challenging, yet enjoyable text. Butterworth's inspiration stems from his many walks in the park with his family. The enjoyment he receives from the outdoors is successfully transferred to his stories.

In The Treasure Hunt a selection of animals try to follow Percy's clues through the park. At one of the places where a clue should be, they get more than just a message--they get a big shock! However, the shock soon becomes a nice surprise for everyone. Using literature to pass on important messages to readers, this tried and tested author spoils us with a tale that entertains and inspires. (Ages 5 to 7) --Jon Smith --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

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

4.0 out of 5 stars How often does a story influence your life in a practical way?, 6 Oct 2006
By Dr. H. Payne - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Nick Butterworth is a great storyteller and illustrator. Percy the Park Keeper is a gentle, lovable hero that my 3 year-old son can't get enough of. This story is typical of the rest of the series in having a sweet group of annimal friends have a small adventure with Percy. This in itself would be enough to recommend the book.

However, we were inspired by the treasure hunt within the story. Percy draws pictures of the locations of the clues as his animal friends can't read. We created a visual treasure hunt for our son that has expanded over several months to have over 20 clues to chose from. He loves it. The experience is enhanced by reading this story at bedtime on a day when we have had a treasure hunt. How many books actually make you go out and do something different in the real world?
