Michael Mopurgo- Which of his books have you read?

[Tiger]

I picked up two of his books from the library today, one of which was Adolphus Tips. The other one was The Wreck of Zanzibar.

The Wreck of Zanzibar has something in coomon with Why the Whales Came, which is one of my own books. They are both set in the Scilly Isles. Why the Whales Came was my first Michael Mopurgo book that I tried, and I loved it.

Mopurgo won the Children's Laurette 2003-2005, hardly suprising as he is, in my opinion, a brilliant author.

Does anyone else like him?

I've read quite a few books by Michael Morpurgo - Little Foxes was the first one I read, years and years ago!

As a child / teenager, I read:
Why the Whales Came
Tom's Sausage Lion
The Butterfly Lion
War Horse
Farm Boy
Billy the Kid

More recently I have read:
Toro! Toro!
Private Peaceful
Adolphus Tips
I believe in Unicorns
The Best Christmas Present in the World

I love the ease with which Michael writes, and the way that he can write about so many different subjects and in so many different styles.

I have read Private Peaceful. Was a great read. I manged to get my teenage son to read it.

Brothers experience, trials and tribulaitions during the war. Very moving story. One I think every boy should read. :reading:
