Customer Reviews

great for design technology lessons
We used this in our class of year 2 children. The pictures are bright and colourful, and the story lively and entertaining. We decided to make a gull free way of getting the sandwiches to the lighthouse keeper. This took weeks to design, build and evaluate-but it was fun all the same! I would recommend this book to anyone-even grown-ups!

Excellent - what more can I say!
I am a BEd student and I am currently on Teaching practice where I am using this book as an overall teaching topic with a reception class of children. It is an excellent story - there are so many ideas in it that can be developed with young children and the children in my class absolutely love it! I would certainly recommend it to other teachers and student teachers working with key stage 1. I, myself, will definitely be using it again in the future!

A bedtime favourite
A bedtime favourite with my son of 6 years old. He loves those cheeky seagulls and he feels sorry for Hamish the cat. There is lots of detail on every page and always something new to discuss. An excellent book.
