Norm Feuti Books

This graphic novel for younger readers is absolutely hilarious. Beak, the bird and Ally, the alligator meet when Beak moves into Ally’s swamp. From the very first second Beak annoys Ally considerably with all his talking and singing and talking. Ally likes being alone, well most of the time and Beak is quite insistent that Ally needs a friend like him.

This book has a lovely message about making and finding new friends in different places and situations and is full of jokes. My eight-year-old daughter loves this book. She has re-read it another four times now without any prompting from me!

Norm Feuti’s colourful illustrations engage the reader. This book would be great for introducing children to graphic novels and be perfect for fans of the Narwhal and Jelly books. This book would be suitable for younger readers in KS1 but also slightly older reluctant readers too.
