(REAL NAME)

  

This review is from: The Hairy Plug Monster (Paperback)

"My daughter went through a stage of being scared of the plughole and the bathwater when she was about 2yrs old. We bought this book to try and stop the crying, tantrums and bath refusal that was going on and it worked perfectly. It's still one of my children's favourite books, and they both say good night to the Hairy Plug Monster as the bathwater goes down the plughole.

I couldn't rate this book highly enough."

and YES you can still purchase a copy intime for Christmas visit

                                    "Where does the bathwater go daddy?"

REVIEW :   "The lyrical writing easily matches up to the likes of Julia Donaldson and the illustrations are just fantastic"

Rachel (Children's buyer - Waterstone's Bury) 

  

Sometimes a picture really does paint a thousand words

A friend posted this recently on Leighroy's facebook page 

"Abi was talking this morning about what was real and what was imaginary. She was going through everything she could think of and categorising it, so gruffalo = imaginary, totoro = imaginary, jesus = imaginary, when it came to the Hairy Plug Monster though she decided he's real. I thought you'd like to know :) "

She obviously knows there's no such thing as the Gruffalo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic 13 Nov 2012
By Valeria

Such an exciting book from start to finish. There is always something happening. An air of anticipation on every page. A light glimpse into the world of spirit and different dimensions, of reality and non reality with fascinating characters like 'Flea' who has come 

from another universe and 'Bolly-Bog' otherwise known as 'Two'. It is as if the characters are living in two worlds at the same time and yet the reality of the story is happening somewhwere in the vicinity of Bath.
With each chapter I couldn't wait to find out what was to happen next. This book is not just for children it is also for adults who enjoy excitement.
Carol has such a fantastic imagination and the gift of expressing it in words.
I can hardly wait for the next book. I hope there is to be a sequel

Great Read!,  7 Oct 2012

By      Sue D  

Very well written fantasy...liked it very much indeed. The story was complex enough to be interesting & keep you guessing but not so complex as to totally confuse which is something that can often happen, (especially as my memory & attention span are not the best!) I felt great empathy for the main characters & was cleverly drawn into their colourful, magical world & lives- all was so well described that I could see it in my mind ...........I think all ages would enjoy this book.

Great Stuff...look forward to the next

Another brilliant review 4.0 out of 5 stars A fast-moving fantasy 21 Oct 2012 


By Mrs G C Cross 


There are plenty of books which transport a hero from everyday reality into a 

fantastic, imagined world. This book works the other way, and it's refreshing to see 

the ordinary world transformed as it's seen through the eyes of a character from 

another reality. Flea - as he's not really called - is a splendid hero. He's brave and 

resourceful, but he remains a real boy, in spite of his super-powers. His adventures 

are fast-moving and vividly narrated, with a refreshing touch of humour. I'm 

looking forward to reading Carol Leith's next book.

'SNUFFLEBUG FLY' plays the flute and sings lots of songs - HPM children's books

a few verses taken from our book 
'The Pop Bellied Cook and the Three Legged dog'
soon tobe published....   the 'Snufflebug Fly' profile

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

......   she gazed at the cook and his green smelly sock

“I will be your wife” , was her short sharp reply

“If you bring me the shoes  from the snufflebug fly”

Now the snufflebug fly as I understand

Was the fiercest of insects you could find in the land

As large as a cow, but not nearly as cute

And she spends all her days playing songs on a flute

So off went the cook and the three legged dog

To the snufflebug fly who lived in the bog

They heard her sweet music 

sound out from the trees

And quietly approached  on their paws, hands and knees

“Who is It?” she called as she saw them draw near

“tis I” said the cook, 

"you have nothing to fear!" 

"I need a bride to make me complete,

And all that I ask are the shoes on your feet”

“My shoes”  she replied, “you haven’t a chance

 I need them tonight for the midsummer dance,

They're  all that I’ve got to go with my suit,

But I might do a swap for the  Pigaloo’s boots”
