As an ex teacher and principal, Mike Legg understands the need for children to have books that are fun, exciting and pleasurable. Books that have a sense of humour, stories that take them on a journey, whether it be scientific, or absurd or just funny, with thought provoking characters, these are what attract children and encourage them to read, and Mike knows it. His books sell themselves once seen by people who have a vested interest in children they know, as they immediately warm to Mike's funny, rhyming story telling style. They are not like every other main stream story out there, they are quite unique and different. His best selling book, Polar Bear Soup is a perfect example with an underlying message of conservation.Many of the books have practical interactive aspects because Mike looks at main themes of conservation of the world, striving for self improvement, Nature and history. Many of the books include recipes which a family can share in a positive way and this is just one of the many reasons why Mike's books are so different and popular. See less
