An Itch to Scratch was the first book that I had published.

You can still find copies in libraries and on the internet. It was beautifully illustrated by the wonderful Lynne Chapman. Near the bottom of the page you can download some pictures to colour in.

"My kids loved this book, as did I. Chapman's quirky illustrations match the silly mood of this story as the hapless gorilla stumbles through one cure after another, never curing his itch, but always making more of a mess of himself."
