One day an invitation
Came to number 24.
It was from a next-door neighbour
Who they'd never met before.
The children can't wait - a birthday party? What fun! But their next-door neighbour is not all he seems. For starters, there's his large snout and very sharp teeth. Not to mention his scaly skin . . . Yes, there's no two ways about it, he's definitely a CROCODILE. Erm, crocodiles don't eat children, do they?
A riotous romp of a picture book, superbly written by Mark Sperring and brilliantly illustrated by Laura Anderson. Snappy Birthday is the perfect present for any child - whether it's their birthday, or not!

The Review: Snappy Birthday is an entertaining and fun picture book that will have you laughing out loud.
When a special invitation arrives at number 24, the children are very excited to see who sent it. And they will find out soon enough because the invite was a party invitation from their neighbour. But once the children arrive next door, dressed in their party wear, they discover that it’s a crocodile and he plans on eating more than just party food for lunch…..
My daughter and I have read a few of Mark Sperring’s picture books and we’ve always come away satisfied and Snappy Birthday definitely hit all the marks for us. It’s highly entertaining with a lovely rhyming story that is not only witty but very well thought out and quiet clever. The story certainly has its funny moments too.
I noticed that the illustrations appeared to be slightly older fashioned compared to some of the other stories we’ve read lately – like the children’s clothes and the houses – but that didn’t stop us from enjoying the story any less. I think it’s only something an adult might notice as my daughter didn’t.
In all, we really enjoyed Snappy Birthday and I think many other children and parents will too.
Thank you to Bloomsbury Books for giving me the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an honest review.
