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



Product Description

One morning, Percy the park keeper steps out of his hut and pins a poster on to the door. As his animal friends gather round, Percy explains that he is planning a treasure hunt. The animals have great fun following Percy's trail of clues all over the park, but when they finally discover the treasure it isn't what anyone was expecting -- least of all Percy! The many stories about Percy and his friends are enjoyed by children all over the world with sales now approaching two million copies. "For any child not familiar with Nick Butterworth's series about the perfect park keeper, a treat is in store" 'Independent on Sunday'

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
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (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?
