Readers will adore shouting “There's something behind you!” in this simple yet hilarious read for all ages, where text and art tell two sides of the same story.

A carefree dodo takes a gentle stroll through a very friendly jungle, across a very peaceful swamp, and over a very gentle sea . . . completely unaware that not only is the journey full of peril, but that a VERY hungry tiger is following close behind! What will happen when they enter the very dangerous grass? This is a simple yet hilarious story where the text and artwork tell two sides of the same story. The accessible text and visual humor make this an ideal book for reading aloud during story time.
Huw Lewis Jones and Fred Blunt's Go, Go, Dodo! tells of a carefree dodo that takes a peaceful jungle stroll. He may think that nothing really is going on around him, but he misses a hungry tiger who is stalking him as they move ever closer to grass where the tiger could pounce. A fun story that explores different viewpoints about the evolving situation in a manner that invites read-aloud adults to delight kids with unusual vantage points.--Midwest Book Review

Go, Go, Dodo!
by Huw Lewis Jones is a humorous picture book that will have readers laughing out loud. The book follows a Dodo as he walks through a “friendly jungle,” a “peaceful swamp,” and a “soothing sea,” but the pictures tell a different story. A very hungry tiger is following the dodo bird as he visits each of these places, but the bird is blissfully unaware and always manages to escape the tiger.--YA Books Central
Huw Lewis Jones teaches by day, writes by night, and leads expeditions to the North Pole on his vacations. He makes books for adults about maps and explorers, while for children it’s mostly been apples and badgers so far.

Humor has always been at the top of Fred’s list when it comes to drawing. Right from those early (rather unflattering) portraits of teachers, Fred knew he wanted to entertain with his work. Now writing and illustrating his own, very silly picture books, Fred couldn’t be happier.
