Book with a View | 7
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010I’m blatantly cheating again this week. The Guardian featured Chris Wormell’s work yesterday and I, by coincidence, read his book One Smart Fish last week. That is nearly the sum total of what I know about Chris’ work – I loved the premise (fish finding their feet) and the amazing colour, crowds and landscapes in One Smart Fish.
The Guardian, again this week, makes for an excellent introduction:
The pastel drawings are immensely pleasing, but the real charm lies in the way that the protagonists, like all small children, are oblivious to the chaos they cause. – Lyn Gardner talking about Off to the Fair.

I’m no expert and open to any/all recommendations – I’d love to find books that I’ve never come across – so if you have a suggestion, send it on.
