The Lumberjack's Beard Book

Big Jim Hickory was a lumberjack. He lived by a forest in a little log cabin. He had big, burly shoulders And an even bigger bristly beard.   Every day, Jim Hickory the lumberjack heads into the forest with his trusty axe and chops down trees (after he’s done his all-important limbering-up exercises – it’s crucial to be limber, if you’re a lumberjack). Unfortunately, all sorts of creatures lose their homes in the process, cross birds and peeved porcupines and all manner of other animals. So Jim comes up with an excellent plan and gives them a home in his beard - until one day it all just gets too much. Time for Jim to come up with a better solution! We at Waterstones just love this colourful caper about big Jim and his bountiful beard, it’s been a particular favourite recommendation of our Children’s booksellers who were won over by its combination of brilliant (very funny) illustrations and its message about looking after our environment.Read More
