Review
A Filth of Starlings and A Drove of Bullocks are compilations of animal group names, brilliantly exploited by PatrickGeorge. If you think that these are too sophisticated for a child of 6+, think again. From a parliament of owls, whose eyes are made up of two Big Ben clock faces, to a pod of dolphins (listening to iPods), a school of whales (a schoolmasterly face with a whales tail forming moustache and tie), these are stylish, witty visual puns. They are books to read and explain, but the elegance with which each picture is drawn would work on T-shirts or calendars. --The Times
For children (and all teachers of literacy and/art) there were two beautifully produced books about words, images and colours which defy description. A filth of starlings and A drove of bullocks (both published by PatrickGeorge) are well worth seeking out. They could inspire magical language or art work with youngsters as well as being absorbing to read alone or better still alongside a friend to share thoughts about each page --UK Literary Association Newsletter
Collective nouns have always been slightly crazy but two great new books, A filth of starlings and A drove of bullocks take it all a step further. These splendidly designed books are for art departments as well as English departments and should be in every school yes, secondary too. The stunningly original graphics illustrate collective nouns old and new I love A flamboyance of flamingos and An implausibility of gnus and, and How rare it is to find books that are a joy to browse through, that can be looked at again and again and if learning there must be, are great for growing vocabulary and creative thinking --Wendy Cooling MBE
