Review:
"A sparkling and enchanting picture book... Inga Moore has skilfully abridged the text so that it sings with a fresh vitality, and her drawing is superb: shades of Maurice Sendak with the knowledgeable line of an Edward Ardizzone or E. H. Shepard... Every turn of the page [is] utterly pleasurable. A book to be shared, read out and pored over in class and at home." TES Primary
About the Author:
Edith Nesbit (1858 -1924) began writing as a teenager and in later years supported her family with her work as a writer. She is remembered today mainly for her books for children such as Five Children and It, The Phoenix and the Carpet and The Railway Children. The Book of Beasts was first published in 1900 in a collection of stories called The Book of Dragons. Another story, Melisande, is also published as a picture book by Walker Books, illustrated by P.J. Lynch. Inga Moore has written and illustrated many picture books for children, including The Vegetable Thieves (Parents' Choice Award); Six Dinner Sid (Smarties Book Prize); Oh, Little Jack; and A Big Day for Little Jack. For Walker Books, she has also illustrated Oscar Wilde's The Canterville Ghost and a two-volume edition of Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows.
