How we came to publish this one
Linda Flynn is very well known to us. She is indeed also one of our editors. We have also published several of her short stories in our annual anthologies. We now have three of her picture books out: A Most Amazing Zoo, Playing Together and Santa’s Supersonic Sleigh. We’re also delighted to have two amazing illustrators: Caroline Casali and Linda Laurie.
The title
It goes with the story and it goes with the cover picture. And it alliterates nicely.
Some notes about the process
The text needed little editing. We had several discussions about the pictures. Getting them to flow right in a picture books is always quite a lot of work and requires several emails to be exchanged.
The cover
We’re very pleased with this. Naturally Linda Laurie is responsible for this.
Some notes about style
This is exactly right for the target reader.
Who we think the reader is
This story could be enjoyed as a preschool picture book where a caring adult reads with the child. There is plenty of extra story in the pictures. It would also be suitable for emerging readers at early infant school. The illustrations give plenty of support.
What else
Linda is an experienced teacher and she has brought that knowledge and experience to this project.
