This month BfK features Jane Ray’s cover for The Twelve Dancing Princesses. We’re particularly delighted to have the opportunity to use this illustration as it enables us to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Orchard Books - they’re 10 this year!

What's Up the Coconut Tree?
Illustrated by Val Biro
The Show-Off Mouse
Illustrated by Val Biro
The Odd Job Man and the Thousand Mile Boots
Illustrated by Val Biro
Three books in a series which, loosely, takes traditional tales and puts them in a picture book format, making them more accessible to young children. Val Biro's distinctive illustrations give an immediate entrée to all groups, while the text is well placed and a delight to read aloud. All three have been positively received but the 'sneaky' illustrations in The Show-Off Mouse gained the greatest praise!
