Call Me Gorgeous
by
Giles Milton
Illustrated by Alexandra Milton
This stunning picture book intrigues and delights in equal measure. The stylish illustrations combine with simple text to deliver an unexpected twist in the tale (or should that be tail?)
Call Me Gorgeous! features a very, very strange creature. It has a porcupine's spines and a crocodile's teeth, a chameleon's tale and a cockerel's feet. What on earth could it be? Uncover this mysterious and fabulous beast through Alexandra Milton's stunning collage. With spectacular illustrations and humorous text, Call Me Gorgeous! is a feast for the eyes and a puzzle for the mind.
Call Me Gorgeous is ideal for audiences with moderate to severe learning difficulties, but likely to have far wider appeal.
