Wake Up Mr B!
Shortlisted for the 1988 Kate Greenaway Medal and one can understand why! Complementing Jan Ormerod's Sunlight, the book depicts Rosi's crack of dawn adventures with her longsuffering dog, Mr B, in a gentle humorous, yet never patronising way. The illustrations have a hazy, luminous quality which softens the comic-strip format and suffuses the book with a timeless feel.
