About this deal

Allan Ahlberg sits on the Council of the Society of Authors. [25] Selected works [ edit ] By Janet and Allan Ahlberg [ edit ] If your children have grown out of the board book stage, though, books by Yasmeen Ismail like Would You Like a Banana?or Two Canby Smriti Prasadam-Halls are good for toddlers with plenty of fun and repetition. Join in! Once in a while, it is a treat to discover the unalloyed joys of a children’s book. Each Peach Pear Plum is pure delight. Picture books are a really magical way to help us stay positive when we feel unsure' - Cerrie Burnell The Boy, the Wolf, the Sheep and the Lettuce: A Little Search for Truth??? (2004), illus. Jessica Ahlberg [15]

Allan Ahlberg is a supporter of West Bromwich Albion F.C., having grown up in the neighbouring town to West Bromwich. [18] Recognition [ edit ] Superbly illustrated by the late Janet Ahlberg and written by husband Allan, 'Each Peach Pear Plum' has rhymed text that, together with the illustrations, invites readers to play the game of 'I spy' with a variety of folklore characters, who each move on from their hidden spots in one illustration to feature in the next one. Allan appeared as a castaway on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 14 November 2008. [21] He described their work together, her illness and death, and the creation of Janet's Last Book. [21]The jolly postman, or, Other people's letters" (first U.S. edition). LCC record. Retrieved 14 November 2012. Janet died of breast cancer in November 1994 at the age of 50, when their daughter Jessica was 15 years old. Allan Ahlberg says with regret that they "made an absolute fortune" but "never really had holidays". [2] You've heard our suggestions - now we want to know which books you think would be great for fans of the Ahlbergs!

Probably their greatest success was The Jolly Postman, published by Heinemann in 1986; Allan Ahlberg told The Guardian in 2006 that it had sold over six million copies. It made innovative use of envelopes to include letters, cards, games and a tiny book. [2] According to one WorldCat library record, Janet Ahlberg (21 October 1944 – 15 November 1994; née Hall) and Allan Ahlberg (born 5 June 1938) were a British married couple who created many children's books, including picture books that regularly appear at the top of "most popular" lists for public libraries. [1] They worked together for 20 years until Janet's death from cancer in 1994. He wrote the books and she illustrated them. [2] Allan Ahlberg has also written dozens of books with other illustrators.

This book can be used to support literacy by encouraging creative writing and the development of word knowledge by using teaching strategies such as: Age 0-5 ‘Each Peach Pear Plum, I spy Tom Thumb. Tom Thumb in the cupboard, I spy Mother Hubbard.’ This classic picturebook is a memorable rhyme which links together traditional English nursery rhymes. The beautifully detailed illustrations provide a wonderful visual I Spy game of spot-the-character, too. First, I read this to my child, pausing before pointing out the next character, who would be hiding in the picture somewhere. From July to September 2011, Janet and Allan's work was celebrated at The Public arts centre in Sandwell (which encompasses Allan's hometown Oldbury). The exhibition included works by schoolchildren with local artists "in response to" Ahlberg stories. [22]
