Slobcat

Slobcat is written and illustrated by Paul Geraghty. Although he lives in the UK now, he grew up near Pietermaritzburg in South Africa. He's written and illustrated numerous picture books and won a range of international awards. He won the Young Africa Award for his Young Adult novel, Pig. You can find out more about him from his website http://www.paul-geraghty.com I would use this picture book to introduce Foundation Phase children to inferred meaning or reading between the lines. It's also a fantastic book to develop visual literacy because the pictures tell the story.
