Buy "The Animal Says..." book for £10.00
My first book “The Animal Says…” was published in 2021.
This non-fiction book brings each of my colourful animal illustrations to life with fun facts for young readers. Your children will love making the animal sounds with you, stimulating physical, emotional and cognitive development.
Since my book was published I’ve visited several schools to read to the children and to tell them all about how the book was published and how I created the colourful illustrations for the book. The book visits are fun and noisy as we all join in with the animal voices, Ribbit! Wheek! Roar!..
“The Animal Says…” was a finalist in The Wishing Shelf Book Awards in 2022.
The book is suitable for children aged 0 to 6 years old.

“The Animal Says…” reviews #
“My two toddler grandsons are captivated by the pictures in the book and love joining in making the animal noises. I can thoroughly recommend the book to get children interested in reading and discovery.”
“Debra’s book is beautifully illustrated, vibrant & fun! My little boy loves this book so much! It’s always on high demand. Highly recommend.”
“I bought this book to read to my school students. It looked so fresh and colourful. The children absolutely love it, especially making the animal sounds along with me. The text is simple enough for young readers and contains information that the children really want to know. That’s what I loved, it’s not just a story.”
“The illustrations are original, colourful collages and would, in fact, make beautiful pictures on a child’s bedroom wall.”
“I originally bought this book for my granddaughter who loves it, she especially likes the sloth. I then went on to buy some more as new baby gifts. The book is lovely for parents to read to their children and later for young readers.”

Learning through creativity, books and play
Let me tell you a little more about this fab little non-fiction text, “The Animal Says…”
Firstly, we love the different eyes popping out of the lettering on the front cover inviting you to take a peep inside and discover who is within. The style of illustration draws my mind to those of the incredible Eric Carle; a style so appealing and accessible to children. There’s a fun nature to the design of each character and they’d be an ideal starting point for an art project; something for home or school.
Each spread is for a different animal and has four lines bursting with facts about each creature. Can you guess which animal there is talk of poop!? Kids love poo so much! A great book to introduce children to non-fiction writing. Children could choose their own animal to create and then research and write their facts about. Younger children will love joining in with making the animal noises; this would be an ideal read-aloud for in a classroom or group setting.
“The animal says…” read using Cued Speech #
The charity Cued Speech UK filmed “The Animal Says…” using Cued Speech. Cued speech helps deaf people see what you’re saying using eight hand shapes in four positions near the mouth which clarifies the lip patterns of speech. All children can enjoy reading the book and learning about the animals.
