Thanks to Mark Graham " professional reviewer" for this latest review, right on the money we think! Then we are a little biased towards Ed....

"What an adventure reading 'Ed's Great Escape' is. A picture book that shares that one great adventure that we all would like to have. This early reading book is about a large giraffe and his day out of the London Zoo. Ed and his day out leads him to some very special places.
The artwork was like watching a cartoon with all the vivid colors and the shiny pages, a good technical format for the book. 'Ed's Great Escape' is a great story to increase a readers' knowledge of geography and to use their imaginations. It is a good book to use across the curriculum. Trevor and Marzena make a great creative team. " (extracts from the review)

Ed is no ordinary giraffe, in fact his keeper at the zoo calls him "The Special One". As well as having an extraordinarily long neck, which is inclined to become tangled, and a photo friendly smile he is extremely intelligent. In this book, Ed breaks out from the zoo and journeys through the great city of London where he meets some surprising people and has many fun packed adventures, before realising that fun is not always enough!
​
In this first book find out what happens when he meets the royal family, saves a sporting event, discovers his voice and then secures the future of the zoo, all before bedtime. Ed's adventures are supported by beautiful and funny illustrations providing opportunities for engagement and learning. Fascinating facts about giraffes and London emerge as Ed gambols from place to place.
