Helen Hughes has loved reading and writing for as long as she can remember. Now as a grownup, she feels so lucky to be able to immerse herself in the world of children’s books and call it a job! As well as books, Helen loves tree-lined roads, sea views, and feeling the sun on her skin. She is based in London, England.

Samantha Meredith graduated from Loughborough University with a BA in Illustration. She currently works from a little house in North London, drawing pictures all day while drinking tea and wearing panda slippers. She spends most of her time designing and illustrating children's books. She also occasionally works in-house for various studios...but leaves the pandas at home.

VERDICT The interactive nature of this title makes it a winner with the board book crowd. Keep it on hand; it’s sturdy.
