Steve Smallman has taken up writing his own stories after illustrating children’s books for over 30 years. He also teaches illustration and mural-painting workshops in schools. When he’s not working, Steve enjoys films, television, gardening and walking in the countryside. Ada spent several years working for design companies before deciding that she preferred doodling. She lives in Brighton with her daughter and cat, Ming the Merciless. She collects picture books, draws in her studio (which is very messy) and loves cheese and spaghetti, especially together.
"This rhyming super-stinker just cries out to be read aloud... Ada
Grey’s scatological scenes induced howls of delighted laughter from
my audience of 5s to 10s, several of whom wanted to paw over the
pages for themselves."
*- Jill R Bennett*
"This brilliantly anarchic picture story really romps along with
its lively illustrations... and pages of rollicking rhyme and
rib-tickling escapades. The ideal book to read aloud and get the
kids laughing… and joining in the fun."
*- Lancashire Evening Post*
