wbb The wonderful Kate Hindley has signed up with Walker Books to illustrate my latest picture book!
Entitled 'Worst in Show' it's all about a boy - Albert - and his pet monster - Sidney - and their sad and pathetic attempts to win
'The Best Pet Monster in the World Competition.'
Kate has already illustrated 'The Great Snortle Hunt' written by Claire Freedman - see above and here -

Here is the shops web site - http://www.erictmoore.co.uk/bookshop.asp
wbb I visited Carters Steam Fair recently in Battersea Park. The 'rides' are fantastic examples of English folk art. Take a look at their - excellent - website for where they will be next - http://www.carterssteamfair.co.uk/
wbb I am working on a follow up to 'and the train goes...' with my friends at Walker Books. This one is about a traffic jam, and should be in book shops next May.
wbb This is a fantastic exhibition:
