This week Team Book Sniffer were lucky enough to bag VIP passes to the Oi Dog! launch party at Waterston's Piccadilly.
Between scoffing mountains of quiche and exquisite bone shaped biscuits we managed to grab Author Kes Gray and Illustrator Jim Field to tell us a bit more about the brand new NUMBER ONE best selling hit Oi Dog! Check it out...

| BEHIND THE SCENES |
Written by Kes & Claire Gray
An absurdly funny follow up to Book Sniffer shelf-essential, Oi Frog which published only last year.
In this delightful sequel we find (uppity) Frog in a deep and heated dispute with Cat and Dog about where they should be perching and the EXACT rules of this "sitting' lark.
With alarmingly hilarious illustrations of such oddities as Slugs on Plugs and Cheetahs on Fajitas (certainly a challenge for Jim Field) we explore a myriad of potential combinations each more rib tickling and bizarre than the last.
Kes is nothing but a rhyming wizard as he cleverly builds anticipation which will have little readers chuckling and snort laughing until they are almost in tears.
This chortle inducing story is one of those books which will be read and LOVED over and over again until the pages fall out. You can't beat that.
Kes and Jim are a formidable and dynamic duo, setting a high bar in the world of children's picture books. We can't wait to see what they come up with next.
