![]() ![]() I worked with Colin and Jacqui on this one as editor, and I’ve never laughed so much in my life. Brilliant-and the snake’s face has to be seen to be believed. Lots of sssss-ing and snake, with a great comeuppance for the villain. A perfect example of the art of picture book writing. ![]() Who knew that you could get so much tension into so few words? I must have read it out loud a thousand times and never once got bored. The Cross with us Rhinoceros by John Bush and Paul Geraghty. Utterly satisfying and highly recommended, as is Peepo! by the same team. A perfect game of hide-and-seek with nursery rhyme characters. I can still recite this years after my kids grew up and it still makes me smile. ![]() Some are out-of-print, but you may find them on AbeBooks online.Įach Peach Pear Plum by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. Just a few old favourites here – all tried and tested. I’ll be adding to it over time, but it’s currently quite a small, personal and eclectic list, considering that I have over 10,000 books in my house, spilling out over every surface. I’ve put together some of my own favourites here – both adult and kids. I still read many many children’s and YA books, both for pleasure and to keep up with the industry. Books have been a vital part of my life (as vital as breathing to me) since I first learned to put letters together to make words at the age of four. Reading is probably the thing I’m most passionate about (go figure!). ![]()
