"Oi Puppies!" by Kes Gray and Jim Field (Hodder Children's Books)

The "Oi!" book behemoth rolls on and on, rolling more effectively than the log that the first book's frog might have sat on way back in the annals of picture book history.

So it's time for the next book, and this time the main characters are a bunch of cheeky, cute and scampish miscreants.

"Oi Puppies!" by Kes Gray and Jim Field follows the hilarious rib-tickling rhyming format of previous "Oi!" books, this time with dog looking after a whole collection of tiny adorable little pups.

But they refuse to sit where they're supposed to. Where do puppies sit? On Guppies of course, but who wants a wet bum and a pair of fish lips pressing against your fur? Certainly not these little pooches.

Well behaved? Not for long, perhaps!

It looks like dog is going to need some help from cat and frog to get those puppies into line!

There are some fantastic name / rhyme pairings in this, enough to keep tinies giggling all the way through.

Can you think where Tickle, Blue, Scamp, Rebel, Smudge and Shep would sit?

Sum this book up a sentence: Yet another sure fire winner from Kes and Jim, ramping up the rhyming hilarity with the most adorable puppy cast (kittens had better be next though, just sayin'!)
