About the Author

Originally from Wales, Kate Ware designs and illustrates children's books from her studio in North Herefordshire, England where she lives with her family. She loves gardening, cooking and going for walks with Pickle the pug. She also has a large selection of chickens and four pet lambs named Cookie, Peggy, Rose, and Simple.

Maria Perera was born in Gijon, a small town in the north of Spain. At a very young age she found out that there are few things in life she enjoyed as much as listening to The Beatles and drawing. When she grew up she graduated in Art History at the University of Oviedo and soon after she studied Graphic Design at the Art School of Aviles. Maria still listens to The Beatles and feels fortunate to be able to do what she loves the most for a living: illustration.

Editorial Reviews

06/26/2020

Toddler-PreS—Inviting illustrations are paired with basic facts in this nonfiction book for toddlers and early preschoolers. The barn, the pigsty, and a roadside farmer's market are included alongside the usual cast of domesticated animals. The text offers detailed information in a way that will not overwhelm very young readers. Engaging questions encourage adults to make this an active reading experience. Plentiful colored gouache and pencil illustrations provide just the right touch of calm. Each animal, building, tree, and turnip are drawn distinctly, aiding youngsters in learning how to identify objects. However, on some pages, awkward sentence placement results in the text being read out of sequence. For the intended audience, this will be of little consequence. VERDICT A gratifying, topical hornbook that will appeal to toddlers and early preschoolers.—Richelle Rose, Kenton County P.L., KY
