Nora Fatima Buffet is a greedy-guts. One night, when she is sent to bed without any supper, she decides to make her own sandwich, using whatever she can find. But this time she's bitten off more than she can chew . . .
"A treat to read aloud" * Minerva Moans Blog *
"A fabulously funny book . . . made even funnier by the fabulous illustrations that accompany the story." * The Bookbag *
"Revelling in the revolting rhyming text, readers will enjoy the joke as this cheeky heroine tucks in" -- Julia Eccleshare * LoveReading4Kids, Book of the Month *
"A doubly funny cautionary tale. Rhyming text comes together with fantastic energetic illustrations." * Early Years Educator *
"Our five-year-old loves this book, especially when Nora's appetite gets out of control and she leaves off the sweets and starts to eat the contents of her own room." * ABC Magazine *
Andrew Weale attended Eastbourne College and went on to gain a scholarship at Oxford University to study Latin and Greek. While there he became heavily involved in acting and singing, which led him to set up his own theatre company after university. Then one day he saw a clairvoyant who told him he'd become a writer... Several years later that's exactly what he's started doing, with a particular love for children's books! When he isn't writing he works as a lecturer for an MA course on picture books, and gives presentations on his work to anyone from the age of four upwards. Ben Cort studied Art at Buckinghamshire College and gained a Higher Education Illustration diploma at Harrow College. His picture books have been published in many languages and countries, including the hugely successful Aliens Love Underpants series. Ben lives in Bedfordshire with his wife and young children. /i>
