The Nickle Nackle Tree

Lynley Dodd

A brilliantly fun counting book in fantastic rhyme from the author of the internationally bestselling Hairy Maclary.

In the Manglemunching Forest there's a Nickle Nackle tree, growing Nickle Nackle berries that are red as red can be. And that's not all that's nestling on the twisty branches of this laden tree. Count up some fabulous Lynley Dodd creations, such as one Ballyhoo bird, kicking up a din and two squawking Scritchet birds with legs so twiggy thin, to nine friendly Natter birds, building nice new nests to ten fussy Fissick birds in yellow feathered vests.

'Dodd's pictures are good, but the rhyming verse is even better – delightful to read aloud and soon learned by heart' – Independent on Sunday
