Have you read any of Melanie Watt's picture books? If you haven't, you really should! Watt has written the wildly popular "Scaredy Squirrel" books - Scaredy Squirrel won the Silver Birch reader's choice award in 2007- and her latest one, Chester, is hilarious too. Chesteris a self-obsessed fat orange cat who wants tobe the hero of Melanie Watt's next book - and he is very pushy about it. You can read my review of Chester on my main website http://bookmarks4kids.bravehost.com under the section Great Picture Books.

Let me know what you think. Do you have a favourite picture book?
