Shh! We Have a Plan: A gloriously funny read aloud adventure and the winner of a Parents' Choice Award

Our toddler really likes these books. I think that’s down to the graphics and the fact there are not too many words on each page. I find he’s not interested in books like the Gruffalo as they’re too wordy and he wants the page changed before the words have been spoken. The stories are simple and so easy for little ones to understand. And the size is handy for reading with one hand - if trying to manage a story and bottle

Great story book

Loved it. Beautiful illustrations.

Interesting illustrations, looks great. Story is very brief and repetitive but my 16 month old boy loves it. Great book for nippers but on third or fourth repeat it gets tiresome. It's so short it's over in a flash which is why we have to read it three or four times back to back before it mysteriously falls behind the sofa.

Such a fun book, we love reading it together, lots of giggles

My son got this for his 1st birthday and it's been one of his favourite books ever since. It's very cleverly written with simple sentences and illustrations which are very easy to understand and fantastic for language learning. My son often grabs this book and "reads" it to himself - saying random words aloud and I know he's got it even if I'm not in the same room. I've now purchased all the books from this author and I can't wait for him to release more!

The best book that I ever bought for my young granddaughter. She absolutely loves it. Everything about this book is wonderful from the gorgeous illustrations to the imaginative and expressive storyline. I loved reading it to her so much that I decided to buy more books from the author Chris Haughton for my granddaughter and grandniece.

I absolutely love this book! I came across it at a nursery I work in and the children know it's my favourite book. When we sit down to read one of them will go and get this from our reading area. The simplicity of the language and repetition means the children join in with repeated refrains, even those with limit speech love shouting GO! I now have a copy for my own collection despite my children almost being adults. I look forward to collecting all of Chris Haughton's books.

My toddler LOVES this book. The simple, eye catching pictures with strong colours keep him hooked through multiple readings in any given sitting.

Ho comprato questo libro dopo una lettura in biblioteca: come tutti i libri di questo autore, vanno letti a voce alta ed interpretandoli. La storia narra di un gruppo di amici che vogliono catturare un uccellino, e per non farlo scappare via devono fare silenzio, ma il piu' piccolo del gruppo ogni volta lo saluta a voce alta, facendolo volare via. I bambini sicuramente ripeteranno insieme al lettore "shhhh" ed il conteggio. Il finale e' buffo e dolce al tempo stesso. Acquistatelo! Peccato che su Amazon, l'unica versione cartonata sia in inglese, ma credetemi che anche chi non lo mastica , lo capira' perfettamente!

The book is just wonderful. Little ones and grown ups alike can learn about kindness and making contact. It is not moralizing (which I find a bit annoying in the books by Rachel Bright and Jim Field), yet the message is clear. The illustrations are beautiful and also reduced to the relevant. It is good to read for toddlers already because of the repetition in the story telling. We are having fun letting our little one jump on our laps whenever the characters in the book fail to catch the bird and tumble, stumble, fall down. I fully recommend the book without hesitations. I am much looking forward to the other books from the same author.

This book will leave you sore from laughing and giggling so hard. Perfect for young readers or old readers alike, great for the family. It's just a simple, fun book with a hilarious plotline ("We have a plan!") and wonderful illustrations.

Book arrived wih a big tear on one of the pages. Shop with caution.
