About this deal
My novel THE GIANTS AND THE JONESES is going to be made into a film by the same team who made the Harry Potter movies, and I have written three books of stories about the anarchic PRINCESS MIRROR-BELLE who appears from the mirror and disrupts the life of an otherwise ordinary eight-year-old. Bookwagon loves Julia Donaldson’s and Axel Scheffler’s latest collaboration, The Baddies, with its perfect, descriptive rhyme, truly funny pictures (witch’s cat stand, anyone? Written by Uju Asika, author of Bringing up Race, this beautiful picture book celebrates the beauty and joy of living in a wonderfully diverse world. Your selection was perfect for our children and what really made the difference was your ability to engage with each child, discuss their interests and help them to choose a suitable book based on your extensive knowledge of the books you were selling.
A brilliant paperback edition for new and old fans alike Perfect read-aloud rhyming text and stunning pictures on every page with lots of details to spot Julia and Axel are the team that have created picture book favourites such as The Gruffalo, Stick Man, Zog, and The Smeds and The Smoos - all of which have been made into animated films. Might their quarrel about their plans be sorted out by a mouse who suggests that the baddest baddy should be decided by who is first to steal her spotted hanky?I’d already created a number of villains – among them the Highway Rat and Wizard Lizard, but never more than one in each book.
Axel has achieved worldwide acclaim for his humorous illustrations, and his books have been translated into over 29 languages. A LITTLE BIT BRAVE is a funny, reassuring picture book which shows that we're all a lot braver than we think.When a little girl moves into a nearby cottage, the Baddies can't wait to scare her out of her wits. With expressive, colorful illustrations and a rhyming story that's a delight to read aloud, this fun tale is a pitch-perfect story of bravery and heart. Bud pointed out the different villains and appeared to enjoy the scandal of it all, but it doesn’t compare to some of the more classic Gruffalo/ Stickman esq characters.
