Our next #OBP20 shortlisted book was the greeeat (forgive us for our 80s cereal-t0uting tiger pun) I Am A Tiger by @Karlwheel. And don't forget @CLPE1's brilliant teaching notes on all the books can be found here: https://t.co/FCA3pufDEs

....'Quentin Blake’s ‘Patrick’...the energetic explosions of colour, the lip-smackingly delicious buttered toast tree, it was an irresistibly imaginative world that he’d created and one I wanted to return to again and again....'
Continuing this week's #askthejudges, @simon_francesca said: 'my favourite picture book as a child was Goodnight Moon. My favourite picture book of all time is impossible to choose, but if forced I would say The Very Hungry Caterpillar and This is Not My Hat.'
Ten Little Elves by @MikeBrownlow1 & @SimonRickerty is number 10 on our 12 Picture Books for Christmas List: The ‘ten little’ series deserves its stellar reputation: colourful images and action packed, humorous rhymes will grab the attention of small children #obp20
