Of all the nutcrackers in the world, Rodney is the best! But there is one nut that Rodney cannot open. He tries everything he can think of: a hammer, an elephant, even a fright - but the nut stays shut. The first picture book from exciting new illustrator and writer Mike Henson with bold vintage colours and textures giving this a Chris Houghton/Ed Vere quality. 3+ A brilliant, rhyming text with masses of humour and energy.
