Krystyna Boglar grew up in Poland and always dreamed of being a
chimney sweep when she grew up. In fact, she ended up studying
Arabic before working in a bookshop and creating some of the first
ever Polish comic books. She then discovered a taste for writing
and launched herself into writing novels for children, with great
success.
Bohdan Butenko (born 1931) is one of Poland's top illustrators,
whose drawings appear in more than 200 children's books. He is also
famous for his cartoons as well as for his stage sets and
television design. He has won many prizes, among them the 2012
Order of the Smile - a special medal awarded by children to adults
who are particularly kind to them.
Engrossing, elegantly told... is as sweet as Polish plum tart... it will charm English speakers and elephant fanciers everywhere The Times Clementine Loves Red is an amusing and enjoyable adventure story with a delightful twist at the end Outside in World A dizzying dance Ricochet Jeunes A summer holiday adventure full of humor, surprises, and mistaken identities Foreword Reviews Boglar's tale has the timeless feel of Jeanne Birdsall's The Penderwicks (2005) or an E. Nesbit book... Butenko's simple but cartoonish bright red line drawings accentuate the book's lighthearted, puckish tone... the farcical action building to the book's major conceit is sure to elicit a giggle Booklist
