Major Glad, Major Dizzy is a photographic picture storybook designed for children aged 5 – 10 years. It’s based on the true discovery of a hidden hoard of Victorian toys under the author’s floor. It will introduce some of the milestones of recent British history and hopefully interest children in tracing the past through found objects and old photographs. It’s also funny and poignant in parts.
The bright red toy London bus in this story gets into all sorts of mischief: playing with other toys, making a mess in the house and exploring the garden. The masterful photographs illustrating the tale are shot from a child’s perspective, getting you down onto the floor with the naughty bus and encouraging imagination and creative play.
This colour children’s picture book is designed to be viewed in double-page spreads and is best read on a tablet device in landscape orientation.
