The Thing by Simon Puttock

The Thing by Simon Puttock

One day, the Thing falls from the sky and four strangers stumble across it. Together they decide to work together to take care of the Thing. But before long a media circus builds up around the creature they are protecting and the debate about the Thing spreads far around the world.

Collaboration, compassion, and friendship are key takeaways for me, and the dangers of othering’, tooThis Thing will be many Things to many readers, though, and for that, I would say that it is an absolute must for every child’s library', Leilah Skelton, Waterstones Bookseller

'Enigmatic, charming and quite beautiful', Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times

'With not one pronoun or gender specific character in sight, we adore the conscious ambiguity of this tale', Picture Books Blogger
