About this deal

Het meisje dat de krokodil onder haar bed ontdekt, denkt nu: leuk! Ze besluit het beest met haar hoepel te temmen, en dat is het begin van een bijzondere vriendschap. Net zo stoer en eigenzinnig als hun hoofdpersoon zijn de nieuwe illustraties van Ingrid en Dieter Schubert. In krachtige, sobere prenten vertellen ze het verhaal dat - minstens voor de komende vijfendertig jaar - de jonge lezers vol vertrouwen naar bed zal laten gaan.

Make some puppets based on the characters in this story (e.g. Matty, Chimpy and the crocodile) and use these to retell the story.

The only remaining ingredients ensuring Kerr's contentment and longevity are a brisk walk through Barnes Common every evening, a Martini Rosso with lunch and a whisky in the evening. "That's 14 units, that's all right!" Look at the expressions of the characters in the illustrations. How are they feeling? Can you think of words to describe their emotions? Kerr says of her father that he had "a great talent for happiness". It is another feature that has clearly been passed down. Kerr is having none of it. "Well, you wouldn't snuggle the Gestapo, would you?" is her standard riposte. "I'm trying to think if I'm traumatised..." she says haltingly, taking a long pause after I ask if she will admit to there being any pain lurking behind her pictures. "No, I'm just hugely, hugely grateful for what I've had," she decides. "I mean, what more can you want – doing work that you love, a happy marriage, children, in a country at peace for 70 years?" Maar kinderen veranderen en Ingrid en Dieter Schubert ook. Dus komen zij met een totaal vernieuwde Er ligt een krokodil onder mijn bed!

Judith Kerr was born in Berlin in 1923 but escaped from Hitler’s Germany with her parents and brother in 1933 when she was nine years old. Her father was a drama critic and distinguished writer whose books were burned by the Nazis, because he dared to speak out against the regime. The day after the family left Berlin, the authorities came to arrest them, and throughout the war there was a price on her father’s head. Judith and her family passed through Switzerland and France before finally arriving in England in 1936. Judith wrote about her experiences in her classic autobiographical story, When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit. Make a list of food and drink that you might need at a party.

Can you design your own patterns? July 2016 Judith Kerr wins a Book Trust Lifetime Achievement Award. She received the award at London Zoo, at a ceremony hosted by former Children’s Laureate and BookTrust President, Michael Morpurgo. Judith Kerr said: " I am honoured and delighted that I have been chosen to receive the BookTrust’s Lifetime Achievement Award. I thank them very much, and as the presentation is to be at London Zoo, I’ll also be able to thank the tigers in the tiger enclosure who started it all." It is a status that continues to define her. "My mother, who was crazy about England, sort of behaved as if she was actually English. But she spoke with a slightly German accent. Once, she said, 'When we won the First World War...' Judith won a scholarship to the Central School of Arts in 1945, and since then has worked as an artist, television scriptwriter and, for the past thirty years, as an author and illustrator of children’s books. Judith was married to the scriptwriter Nigel Kneale, who died in 2006, most famous for the hit sci‐fi series Quatermass. Her son is the writer Matthew Kneale who won the Whitbread Book Award for The English Passengers. Judith lives in south west London.
