PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Emma Chichester Clark was born in London but grew up in the countryside in Ireland. She studied at the Chelsea School of Art followed by the Royal College of Art where she was taught by Quentin Blake. She has written and illustrated many picture books, including the immensely popular Blue Kangaroo series, and has also produced illustrations for numerous magazines and book jackets.
A skillfully suspenseful story with all the charm of Chichester Clark’s picture books. * The Daily Telegraph * It’s a book to entrance young readers with the perennially appealing idea of communicating with other species, and with the message that kindness can triumph. * The Sunday Times * [G]o down to the woods for a gentle bear story…This divinely illustrated book begs to become a series…I enjoyed this gentle story and found her illustrations divine: Mrs Snell is a perfectly sculpted, minimalist Cruella de Vil, the adult bears are fabulously fierce, the baby bears visually vulnerable. Expect growls of approval. * The Times * Full of enchanting illustrations, this is a lovely story of a kindly girl and a lost bear. * The Week Junior * A perfect book. Booboo is now one of my favorite bears, sitting right alongside Paddington and Winnie the Pooh. This story has lots and lots of heart. * Carlie Sorosiak *
