Crumbs!

A fun, heartwarming animal story, ideal for children practising their reading at home or in school.

Crumbs. That's all that's left in Dan's lunchbox. CRUMBS! Well who's eaten his sandwich? Could it have been Henry the horse? Bill the pig? Or even Bridget the chicken? One thing's for sure, Dan's going to find out just who ate his lovely egg mayonnaise sandwich.

This fun, rhyming story from rapper, actor and comedian Ben Bailey Smith (author of the picture books Bear and Bear Moves) is perfect for children who are learning to read by themselves at Key Stage 1 (KS1). Features dynamic illustrations from Sav Akyüz and fun characters young readers will find hard to resist.

Bloomsbury Young Readers are the perfect way to get children reading, with book-banded, phonically decodable stories by brilliant authors like Julia Donaldson. They are packed with gorgeous colour illustrations and include inside cover notes to help adults reading with children, as well as ideas for activities related to the stories.

About the Illustrator

Sav Akyüz is an illustrator with 14 years of storyboard artistry behind him. Sav has been asked to sketch many things by TV advertising executives from things that excite (sports, cars, a combination of both) to those that, perhaps, don't quite hold such a glamorous appeal (roasted vegetables). Sav has also been a visual effects artist on numerous feature films, a cloth-layer upper for Burberry and served ice cream outside the Tate Britain.
