REVIEW OF KETCHUP ON YOUR REINDEER “It’s a simple, playful premise, and just like Sharratt’s other books, the book presents a clever interactivity that means a reader can play with it and read at the same time. The font is nice and big and with just a few words per page it’s a great book too for little ones just starting to learn to read.” – BookTrust

Our 0+ section this month is crammed with Christmas goodies, but I wanted to give a special shout out to this one. I absolutely love Christmas and love Nick’s books: if you’ve ever shared Ketchup on Your Cornflakes (or, indeed, any of his work) with a little one, you’ll know that his novelty books are always bursting with exciting and fun concepts, really bright and bold pictures and have all the hallmark ingredients that are guaranteed to make little ones chuckle. Ketchup on Your Reindeer is a brand new, fabulous festive follow-up that offers the same clever split pages to make over 100 silly and funny creations, so plenty of scope for sharing many times.

Books that offer plenty of interaction are important to stimulate and engage inquisitive young minds, and the strong, sturdy pages satisfy even the most determined little fingers as they build their hand-eye co-ordination. Start a love of words and pictures, books and reading from a young age. Perfect as either a gift to pop under someone’s tree, or to share with your little one in the countdown to Christmas.

Nick Sharratt

Nick Sharratt needs little introduction with books going down a storm time and time again. He has written and illustrated many books for children, and also enjoys great success illustrating books for Jacqueline Wilson and Jeremy Strong.

He was born in 1962 and trained at the St Martin’s School of Art. Inspired by 1960s pop and graphic art, his work is instantly recognisable for its bold images and punchy colours. With lots of moving tabs, flaps to lift and other interactive features, as well as exciting wordplay and cheeky humour, Nick’s books let children discover all the different ways in which books and words can work.

He lives and works in Brighton, in a studio overlooking the sea.
