He has earned two Kate Greenaway Medals, and has twice been nominated for the Hans Christian Andersen Award. 10.5'' x 7.75''. Original color pictorial boards. Original price-clipped color pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated in color. 32 pages. Jacket with light soil, some edgewear and a few small closed tears; a couple unobtrusive pen scribbles.
