22.01.2022 NEW ARRIVAL: IT MIGHT BE AN APPLE The story follows a child’s hilarious, wildly inventive train of thought through all the things an apple might be if it is not, in fact, an apple. Distrusting the apple’s convincing appearance, the child’s imagination spirals upwards and outwards into a madcap fantasy world maybe it’s a star from outer space with tiny aliens on board?

18.01.2022 Posted @withregram @rbiddulph Lots of us are going to find ourselves at home with our children over the next few weeks/months looking for things to do, so I have decided to post some draw-along videos that you can watch together and, hopefully, make some nice pictures. I’ll start recording them in the morning and will post under the hashtag #DrawWithRob from Tuesday. Let’s get through this thing together...

14.01.2022 NEW ARRIVAL: WILD "You cannot tame something so happily wild." In this beautiful picture book by Hawaiian artist Emily Hughes, we meet a little girl who has known nothing but nature from birthshe was taught to talk by birds, to eat by bears, and to play by foxes. She is unashamedly, irrefutably, irrepressibly wild. That is, until she is snared by some very strange animals that look oddly like her, but they don't talk right, eat right, or play correctly. She's puzzled by thei...r behaviour and their insistence on living in these strange concrete structures: there's no green here, no animals, no trees, no rivers. Now she lives in the comfort of civilization. But will civilization get comfortable with her? In her debut picture book, Hughes brings an uncanny humour to her painterly illustrations. Her work is awash with colour, atmosphere, and a stunning visual splendour that will enchant children while indulging their wilder tendencies. Wild is a twenty-first-century answer to Maurice Sendak's children's classicit has the same inventiveness, groundbreaking art, and unmissable quirkiness. www.louieandme.com.au

04.01.2022 NEW ARRIVAL: THAT PESKY RAT The creator of Clarice Bean has conjured up a clever alley critter so appealingand so hilariousthat young readers will be begging to take him home. Sometimes . . . I look up at all the cosy windows and wonder what it would be like to live with creature comforts . . . to be a real pet. Most of all I would like to have a name, instead of just that pesky rat.... A glamorous life in the lap of luxury like Pierre the chinchilla would be very nice. But really, our hero’s not that fussy - he just wants to belong to somebody. With his cute, pointy brown face and beady eyes, why can’t he get someone to take him home? Even a notice posted at the local pet store seems fruitless, until one day a nearsighted old man stops in and speaks the amazing words: "I’ll take him." After all, he says, he’s been looking for ages for a brown cat as nice as this. www.louieandme.com.au
