'Could occupy children on rainy days or car journeys and may even interest some into becoming gardeners!' The English Association 'The lively detailed pictures offer plenty of additional opportunities for discussion and learning - and then encourage your child to get outside to see what they can spot. An excellent way to stimulate an interest in nature with lots of entertainment value.' Parents in Touch

JOELLE DREIDEMY has drawn and painted for as long as she can remember. After graduating from the prestigous Emile Cohl School she moved to Paris, where she now illustrates for English, American, French and Korean publishers. EMILIANO MIGLIARDO is a cartoon illustrator who has worked in the industry for over 10 years. Ever since watching cartoons such as The Pink Panther, The Three Stooges and Benny Hill, Emilano had always aspired to be a cartoonist himself. His work is well defined, fun and very colourful. STELLA MAIDMENT has written story books, puzzle books, activity books and retellings of classics. Her work includes a major updating of Enid Blyton's Noddy stories, and, with a co-author, the creation of a best-selling course for teaching English as a foreign language to primary school children all over the world.
