Little Gems - Albert Johnson and the Buns of Steel
A baking nightmare makes for slapstick comedy gold in this hilarious Little Gem from a bestselling author and illustrator team.
Albert's dad needs help in the family bakery, but all his son can think about is sport. So he builds a machine like no other: the Doughmaster 5000. It seems to have solved all their problems, until one night, Dad's miracle solution turns into a rampaging disaster. It's up to Albert to fix the mess - but will his sporting skills save him now?
Phil Earle was born and raised in Hull. His first job was as a care worker in a children's home. Phil then chose the more sedate life of a bookseller, and now works in children's publishing. He is the author of several award-winning novels including Get Me Out of Here, a recent collaboration with Andy McNab, Being Billy, and The Bubble Wrap Boy.
Steve May studied illustration and animation. His exuberant, madcap, action-packed style makes his work extremely popular - it's become a regular feature in the world of children's books.
