The friends are out for a walk when they spot it - a beautiful bird perched in a tree! They simply must have it. So they tip-toe very slowly, nets poised - 'Ready one... ready two... ready three... GO!' But, at the turn of the page, we find a ridiculous bunch of very tangled characters and a bird, flying away. It's clear that this goofy gang cannot catch that birdie! But the littlest of this group knows that a bit of kindness can go a long way. The winner of the 2014 Association of Illustrators' Award for Children's Books, Shh! is the covetable new picture book from Chris Haughton, one of the most exciting new voices in children's literature.
