Ceratopia Books are pleased to announce the debut of author John Perkins with his new children’s book Georgy The Goat.
Georgy’s always full of mischief and thinks that he knows best. Just what will he do when he learns he’s banned from the farmhouse for being too smelly?
John Perkins was head of Blackfield School from 1982 until he retired in 2008. When the literacy hour was introduced he became aware of the need for texts which would motivate pupils towards wanting to read. They had to be original texts which they had not read before and thus the adventures of Georgy the Goat saw the light of day.
Former colleagues and, crucially, Louise Trim, who is now acting head at Hordle Primary School, urged John to get to work on producing the stories in book form which he finally began to do in 2017 after being introduced to local illustrator, Simon Chadwick.
So now here’s your opportunity to meet Georgy in a colourful children’s book perfect for preschool and infant-aged children.
