Where have you two been? 
Neil Griffiths, illustrated by Janette Louden 
Can't you just imagine the exasperation in their mothers' voices as Prickle and Antlery return home festooned with various bits and pieces they picked up during their race? Prickle challenged Antlery to a race and it seemed that the outcome would be a foregone conclusion - but that was before they encountered various obstacles on the way. I loved the pictures of Prickle rolling down the hill, almost hidden by leaves and Antlery draped with the contents of some poor person's washing line - such fun in these pictures. The humour will really appeal to children in this lovely story of a race for home. The illustrations by Janette Louden are full of detail to help children learn about the countryside.
