The Lovereading comment:
Shortlisted for the Greenaway Award 2007. For every budding writer and reporter this is the perfect book. It’s a picture book with a really original feel and a chief who never gives up on trying to get that scoop. (3-7) Judges' comment:This is a quality production with a layout that is easy to follow, a speedy, gripping feel to it, and big meaty spreads which incorporate lots of interesting detail. The characterisation is great: its use of animals to depict different traits is very well done, and the notepad device is also very clever. This very visually literate book is also laugh-out-loud funny.
Synopsis
Scoop! by Cathy TinknellMonty Molenski is a humble reporter who is convinced that he's always missing out on the big stories. But could it be that Monty isn't noticing what's going on...right under his nose? Atmospheric retro art and moody lighting make this another great success from the husband and wife team who brought us "Guess Who's Coming for Dinner?"
