Top of the Class (Nearly): 9 (Tom Gates)

Product Information

Top Of The Class (Nearly) is the ninth Tom Gates book and is a delightful read for younger children. I have never read a Tom Gates book before, but I dived headfirst into book 9, incredibly impressed by the fantastic layout of this book. It’s filled with tons of different fonts and different font sizes, there’s drawings of the characters in various situations and it feels like it’s interactive (even though it isn’t). It’s fully immersive and that’s incredible. British author and illustrator Liz Pichon began her career as a graphic design artist creating cover art for a music label. As her art style developed, she began selling prints on a wide range of products. In 2004, she published her first book both written and illustrated herself called Square Eyed Pat. She has since published several other books outside of the Tom Gates series. Pichon has no plans to stop creating Tom Gates books, nor other books! Her latest book outside of the Gates series is called Shoe Wars, published in 2020, and features a large cast of hilarious characters. Absolute HIT! My little one has loved reading this. She has been really engaged and finished in record time. Brilliant book." Kylie83

I like the part "Buster got on a window", "Tom drew a drawing of Mr Fulerman". The author ( Liz Pichon)thinks of things - everybody could laugh at. She’s not looking. She’s ignoring me. . . . I think. So I might as well stop writing nice things now and draw a doodle instead. (This cheers me up.) Marcus by a gets squished Band practice with Derek tonight might not be so good because there’s absolutely NOTHING that will cheer me up now. Not a thing. . . .
