Love #EmilyGravett, she is one of my must get picturebook makers.

“Bear’s Nap” is a joyously funny book about a bear being disturbed preparing for hibernation. It’s a fab interactive read-a-loud full of playful humour. The art is a characterful and charming . Lovely. #PicturebookPage

1. First #UnderTheDustJacket post. This brilliance from #EmilyGravett. “Bothered By Bugs”

The Under cover is for a cookery book that’s in the story. There is also a fantastic bugs poster. Add recipe pages on the #Endpapers and you have the total package

It's all hand-drawn animation and is a big snowball of heart and sadness and spookiness and imagination... www.netflix.com/search?q=the...

2: Orange Pear Apple Bear by #EmilyGravett
Intelligent humour playing with shape, colour & words, this perfect book clinched my decision to do my Children's Book Illustration MA.

The cover features Lily entering the book through a keyhole with her companions, Mouse, Snake, Crow and Mole. She is wearing a red jumper. Jeans and sneakers. The snake is weaved through some of her hair, and the crow is holding a key, with a heart shaped to, in its beak. Gold lettering is used for the book title, Locked out Lily.

Rear cover of the hardback book Locked out Lily, with a signed nameplate card. The book inside is green with dark silhouette shapes of feathers, a bird, mouse, mole and snake. The nameplate has a stylised print of a crow, snake, mole and mouse around a tree stump, appearing to be talking to each other. Below that is the authors signature.

When @transguysteve.bsky.social walks to our local pharmacy, & spots this book in the charity shop by it. He bought it for my collection.

Is it a children's book? Yes.
Do I care? Not one jot!

TOO MUCH STUFF! by Emily Gravett · Story Snug TOO MUCH STUFF! by Emily Gravett is a hilarious picture book about two magpies whose collection of treasures starts to overwhelm their nest.

Too Much Stuff! is one of my favourite #picturebooks!
It's an amusing story which can stimulate conversations about re-using & recycling unwanted items 🪹

Received some stunning book post from Two Hoots Books for the My Book Corner blog.

A surprisingly lightweight package given the booky heavyweights inside 📚👍
