Pete the badger likes to keep the forest neat and tidy. But sometimes it's good to know when to stop!
Emily Gravett has a rare talent indeed for creating exceptional books for children. The winner of two Kate Greenaway Awards, her skill and wit are second to none as she pushes the boundaries and wrings maximum fun and detail from every page. Emily first sprang into the limelight with the ground-breaking Wolves in 2005, which has been followed by such brilliant modern classics as Meerkat Mail, Little Mouse's Big Book of Fears, Monkey and Me, Again! and the fabulous Bear and Hare series for younger readers. Each book is unique and different from the last - and each features endearing, beautifully drawn characters that touch the heart and tickle the funny bone. Emily lives in Brighton with her family. When not working in her studio, Emily might be found walking the dogs, watering the tomatoes, driving the family's restored 1950s bus or speeding round the roller-derby track.
The message is admirable and the cut-out cover enticing, but the
greatest joy is in the comic expressions, hand-wrought images and
witty detail.

If you haven't discovered the brilliant wit and inventiveness of
award- winning Emily Gravett yet, then this superbly illustrated

minor cast of bemused bunnies and dishevelled foxes pop up
throughout and the pictures are packed with comic detail.
Superb.
