«The Odd Job Man and the Thousand Mile Boots» is the children's picture book by Jean Kenward (Oxford University Press, paperback, 32 pages, English).
A man who earns his living running errands dreams of travelling and borrows from his neighbour, a kind giant, some magical thousand-mile boots. With them he crosses deserts and mountains to the heart of the jungle, where he finds a grumpy leopard, mischievous monkeys, a chatty parrot and two hungry crocodiles who see him as a tempting morsel.
The illustrations are by Val Biro. The work was originally published in 1988; this Oxford University Press edition is from 1996.
Suitable for early readers from about 4 years old and linked to the Key Stage 1 primary curriculum.
