Julian is a mouse who is perfectly happy avoiding other animals. They seem to just get in the way, and sometimes even try to eat him! But one day, Julian has an unexpected dinner guest...
Joe Todd-Stanton is from Brighton and grew up drawing with his mum. He studied Illustration at the University of the West of England, afterwards moving to London where he currently lives. His children's book, The Secret of Black Rock, won the 2018 Waterstones Children's Book Prize and since then he has written and illustrated seven books with Flying Eye Books.
From Flying Eye, Joe Todd-Stanton's A Mouse Called Julian offers
Brambly Hedge-style charm spiced with a pinch of peril. Julian, a
solitary mouse, regrets his aloofness when a fox breaks into his
home, determined to eat him - but fox and mouse become unlikely
friends. Cross section illustrations of glowing, cosy rooms, slyly
funny dialogue and a nuanced happy ending add up to a picture book
as warm as a candle-lit burrow.
*The Guardian*
Intricate illustrations of the natural world are a glorious
backdrop to a story of enemies that become friends.
*Oscar's Book Prize*
A Mouse Called Julian is heart-warming tale that is so well-crafted
that it will be enjoyed by children for many years to come. Each
page is filled with vibrant images that are a feast for the
eyes.
*The Great British Bookworm*
