There is nothing better than a bit of nonsense, and The Sniger and the Floose is a marvellous example of nonsense at its best. The random animals of "a very Random Island in the North Atlantic [Sea]" will delight people of all ages with its clever combinations of perfectly paced text and mind-boggling art. You'll meet creatures of the land, sea and air, none of them ever photographed, all of them shown in Katie Brosnan's clever painting. The porpazelle, the hippopotipanda, the jelly figeon; they're all here to delight the young naturalist. What fun it would be to read this and take a small person of imagination on a nature walk, speculating about where the various creatures might be hiding.
