About The Book
A funny and affectionate look at all the things your parents do for you. It's not all tidying up and making you brush your teeth...
You may think your parents just boss you around and tell you what to do. And there's no getting away from it - they do have to do quite a lot of that! But there's so much more to them - did you realise they are also tent poles for dens that are wonky, dustbins for bits you don't want to eat up and grandstands to make you grow tall?
Praise for Peter Bently's The Yoga Ogre:
"Lively rhyming text and bright, humorous illustration make this a great book to read aloud." www.booktrust.org.uk
"Filled with infectious rhyming text and bright, bold illustrations which children will love." Creative Steps
"A hilarious story." Parents in Touch
Praise for Sara Ogilvie:
"The massive, full-colour pictures make this a delicious book." The Independent on Sunday on Rhinos Don't Eat Pancakes
"At the hands of Sara Ogilvie, all the characters are brought expressively to life." The Scotsman on Rhinos Don't Eat Pancakes
