Four Small Boys From Wales / Pedwar Bachgen Bach O Gymru
Join Bryn the Frock, Will in a Minute, Tommy Bach and Me in a real life adventure that explores friendship, facing up to bullies and the hilarious sweet taste of revenge.
What is this about? A fantastic and funny book that kids will love to hear (and parents will enjoy reading) again and again. Wonderful words written in rhyme by Lyndon Jeremiah, and fabulously colourful and unique illustrations by Nathan Shelton.
Full of old school fun in a way that children’s book used to be. Remember the Beano and the Dandy, the original Dennis the Menace and The Bash Street Kids? This book brings the excitement, enjoyment, innocence and nostalgia of those stories and comics to a new generation.
A story based in the 1970s but told with cheekiness and fun for today’s children.
What age is this book aimed at? This book will appeal to a broad age range, but we suggest a reading age of 6 plus and a storybook age of 4 plus. The book contains illustrations of a bare bottom, and some poo. It also has come cartoon violence (imagine the Beano or Bash Street Kids for reference).
There is an English language version of the book and also a Welsh language version
