• FURTHER PICTURE BOOKS


































• FURTHER PICTURE BOOKS
Shapes and Colours are two more of the mini titles to be published as magnet books by Softplay Inc.
Like the ABC set the mini book blocks can be snapped together edge to edge to spell out words.
Very soon I'll bring you the numbers set too, which were fun to do as they are all animals.

• MINI PICTURE BOOKS - ABC



















































• MINI PICTURE BOOKS - ABC

For the last few months I've been working on a mammoth set of mini picture books.
OK, I acknowledge that four pages plus one cover doesn't sound a heap of work. But considering there are 52 books in total, I can assure you that it took a supreme effort of concentration, skill, ingenuity and many hours in front of the screen to deliver them on time.
This is going to sound like a Bafta awards winner's speech, but there are a number of people that I just couldn't have done it without!
If it hadn't been for Stephen Fry's wonderful reading of Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix, unabridged on CD, and the astounding Philip Pullman's trilogy - His dark materials, read by the author, I could not have sat at the Mac for up to 16 hours per day.
Not forgetting Hancock on Radio 7, along with Sherlock Holmes, Old Harry's game and Eddie Izzard, they all, unknowingly, helped me through.
