The Ballad of Cactus Joe

Cactus Joe is a lean 'n' mean prickle machine!


He lives all alone in the desert and that's the way he likes it . . . until a woodpecker offers Joe a mighty fine deal: he'll eat Joe's pests if he gives him a home. Yeehaw!


But soon more and more birds come to stay, and Joe decides enough is enough. All Joe wants is to be left alone . . . or does he?

"This funny picture book has it all... Clive McFarland’s pictures contain clever characterisation and pops of bright orange to really engage the child. Never has a cactus had so much expression. Fun to share one on one and with a group." Booktrust, Irish Book of the Month
