The Trouble with Jack

Shirley Hughes
(Corgi)
978-0552523066, RRP £2.99, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
Buy "The Trouble with Jack (Picture)" on Amazon

It's good to see this old favourite repackaged under the Corgi imprint. The revamped Corgis look to have the makings of a first class picture paperback series: first rate stories and high quality printing which retains the freshness of the artwork, and splendid value for large format softbacks.

Jack and trouble séem to be inseparable so much so that older sister Nancy's birthday party is almost ruined before it even gets under way - almost but not quite. Here as always we see Shirley Hughes capturing the ups and downs of family life with her unerring eye and turning everyday situations into memorable stories.
