Heard of sparrows? I bet you have and seagulls, magpies and pigeons too! But Bam Boozle birds? Maybe not… Well here’s your chance to catch a glimpse into their wacky world!

The Bim-Bam Boozle Bird presents itself as an engaging rhyming picture book tailored for young children that features an exotic bird who flies upside-down and lives to 102.

The book has been written by Eileen Morrison who recreated the story from the wacky tales her grandfather used to tell her and is complemented by the artistic talents of her son, Tommy.

The illustrations are quite unusual in that each page has a single coloured theme with a different colour on each page. The artwork seamlessly intertwines with the narrative and looks like it is created from stencils.

The book promises a delightful read for children and will give them a giggle as they meet the Bim-Bam Boozle Bird, a bird like they have never seen before. The plot is full of whimsical moments and I can see little ones loving it.

Overall, this is a tale that will capture the imaginations of its young audience. I can see it being a big hit will its readers as they take in this wonderful creative story and ask for it to be read over and over again.

Author Eileen Morrison, along with graphic designer and illustrator Tommy Morrison, have created a quirky character sure to pique the curiosity of toddlers and young children.

The pair grew up in Didsbury, before Tommy moved to Birmingham for work.
