John Yeoman (Author)
John Yeoman was for many years Head of English at the French Lycee
in London. His collaboration with Quentin Blake began in 1960, and
has resulted in a long list of successful children's books of which
a number of earlier well-loved titles are now being republished by
Andersen Press for new generations of readers.
Quentin Blake (Illustrator)
Quentin Blake has been drawing ever since he can remember. He
taught illustration for over twenty years at the Royal College of
Art, of which he is an honorary professor. He has won many prizes,
including the Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration, the
Eleanor Farjeon Award and the Kate Greenaway Medal, and in 1999 he
was appointed the first Children's Laureate. In the 2013 New Year's
Honours List he was knighted for services to illustration.
"Revels in a kind of bonkers Englishness"
*Evening Standard, Best Books of 2017*

rhyming story reflects each month wonderfully... Blake's
immediately recognisable flourish gives this book instant appeal
and his stamp on anything suggests quality and humour"
*INIS*
"Very funny, with lots of gentle humour and earthy illustrations
from Quentin Blake that really capture the fizz and farce of close
family life."
*Booktrust*
"A book to treasure all year round"
*Lovereading4Kids, Book of the Month October 2017*
