Product Description

Review

This is an inspiring story, especially for anyone who wishes they were better at something they enjoy doing. (Primary Times )


Product Description

Riccardo Small lives on the Island. He's the smallest boy in his class at school, and he loves cricket. In fact, he's a walking cricket encyclopaedia and can tell you the averages of every West Indian test match player in history, the names of all the cricket grounds in the world and more besides. But Riccardo also loves poetry and songs - especially calypso. When he is dropped from the cricket team after missing a vital catch, Riccardo wanders the island, taking refuge in his poems. He meets Count Crayfish, an eccentric figure, well known on the Island for his triumphs in the Calypso Competition, and together they think of a way in which Riccardo can still help the cricket team...

4.0 out of 5 stars Butter-Finger is Great for cricket-mad boys or girls!, 30 Sep 2007
By N. HURST (london) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this for my 9 year-old son who is cricket-mad. He loved it!
He liked the rhythmic style of the poems included in the story. He enjoyed reading all the cricket match details too! He told me that the story line keeps you interested to the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars One for all the family, 15 Nov 2008
By Mr. William Barr - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Bob Cattell's story and John Agard's poems create a magic spell as they paint a picture of island life and calypso cricket. My favourite bit was the moment when Jessie the dog stole and ate the groundsman's lunch. This led to Ricardo meeting Count Crawfish and suddenly the chump who could not catch a cricket ball was on the road to becoming a real champ. A great read.

What a Fantastic book . I have two sons aged 9 and 7 who loved this book-its softly lilting ryhmes and beautiful descriptions of the joys of caribbean cricket and life -CLR James himself would have been proud.
