Description

Is it a beastie? Is it a kelpie? Is it a sea monster? Angus and his sister, Kirstie, have found something strange at the beach so they take it home to put it in the bath - who knows what it might be? At first they think it's just a big old piece of seaweed, but in the morning it's squeaking and splashing. . . the seaweed has hatched into a curious creature with little flippers - it's the water horse! The question is will Mum let Angus and Kirstie keep him - and what will they do with him if he just keeps on growing?

About the Author

Dick King-Smith served in the Grenadier Guards during the Second World War, and afterwards spent twenty years as a farmer in Gloucestershire, the county of his birth. Many of his stories are inspired by his farming experiences. Later he taught at a village primary school. His first book, The Fox Busters, was published in 1978. He wrote a great number of children’s books, including The Sheep-Pig (winner of the Guardian Award and filmed as Babe), Harry’s Mad, Noah’s Brother, The Queen’s Nose, Martin’s Mice, Ace, The Cuckoo Child and Harriet’s Hare (winner of the Children’s Book Award in 1995). At the British Book Awards in 1991 he was voted Children’s Author of the Year. In 2009 he was made an OBE for services to children’s literature. Dick King-Smith died in 2011 at the age of eighty-eight.
