Discover some of the baby animals that begin their life in an egg. It isn't just chicks! 

Who is in the Egg? takes an amazing journey to all sorts of animals and birds that start in an egg; there is the ostrich whose egg is so strong that a human could stand on it and it wouldn't break, or an alligator who creeps out into the swamp and if the eggs are warm they will be boys and if cold they will  be girls!

The illustrations are beautiful, they are clear and appealing and will be a great treat for all children, young or old. The detail in the pictures has been carefully created and will give lots of ideas to budding artists.

Alexandra Milton wrote and illustrated the book. after studying art in Germany and now living in London drawing inspiration from her father and grandfather Wolfram and Erwin Aichele.

Boxer Books have published the book and it is part of a beautifully crafted portfolio of books in the Art of Storytelling.

I look forward to sharing this book with some little ones, but I may just spend more time on each page gazing at the pictures, whilst they will want to be finding who is the next baby in the egg.

Everyone Can Draw  celebrates the artist within us all. It encourages a discovery of our own unique way to draw and and to be successful in creating pictures.

If you are interested in drawing of any kind, from doodling to creating images using different mediums, then this is a great book to have and share with young children. The message is simple; that we can all draw and just need encouragement to pick up a pencil or a crayon and get drawing. Or we can use other things like needle and thread, our finger prints and paints...

The book was published in July 2019 by Boxer Books, who are very successful in publishing some brilliant picture books with a wide reaching portfolio.

Fifi Kuo is from Taiwan and graduated with a Masters in Illustration at The Cambridge School of Art. Her illustrations in Everyone Can Draw are beautiful and will capture imaginations for young children and older too.

Everyone Can Draw is already on the shortlist for many awards, including Cambridgeshire Libraries Picture Book Award- Read it Again 2019. Fifi has 3 previous titles which are very successful; I Can Fly, The Perfect Sofa and The Magic Hug.

Recommended for ages 2- 6 and adults will love it too.

‘I think we need a new sofa, ‘said Panda. 'This one is too old’.

Penguin and Panda are the best of friends and share everything, including the sofa!

Their journey through the book is a wonderful way to make choices together. Penguin and Panda are engaging and delightful, the book encourages everyone to enjoy what we have.

In the end of course, they discover that their original sofa is the best one for them both, and the book finishes with two exhausted characters on the patched up sofa, with all their things around them.

Fifi Kuo is from Taiwan and has studied in the UK at Cambridge receiving an MA in Children’s Illustration at The Cambridge School of Art. She has already been shortlisted for awards and gained Bronze in the Macmillan Prize.

...with free delivery

The Perfect Sofa is to be published in the UK on 11th April by Boxer Books.

 

It follows Fifi’s amazing title of I Can’t/Can Fly.

Fifi has a brilliant way of using illustration to convey meaning and her use of characters like Panda and Penguin show enormous loveable characters.

A great book for young children and for parents too!

Recommend for ages 2- 22!!
