A romping rhyme about a rhino who makes the rules!
Jeanne Willis wrote her first book when she was five - a slim
volume about cats written in pencil and stitched together with a
painfully blunt needle so that it looked like a 'real' book. After
that, there was no turning back. Having been fired from her
Saturday job selling cowboy boots in the Kings Road for chewing
gum, and after a brief career as a reptile vet's assistant, she
worked as a copywriter and had her first picture book published at
the age of 21 (which she wrote whilst pretending to be busy
creating adverts for cognac). She has since written over 300 books
and has won several awards which are arranged in the attic where
she works.
Peter did lots of different jobs before becoming creating his first
children's book including a bingo caller, a bouncy castle painter,
a record sleeve designer and an animation director. He's always
doodled characters, and thinks that everything he's done in the
past has helped make him a better children's picture book
illustrator and writer... maybe not the bingo calling... Peter
wants the books he creates to be very personal, and particularly
loves the nature of children's books, what they can do and how they
can be kept and loved as little treasures.
