Product Description
Review
Floors of colour exploding across the pages with a name to match: Wildsmith. He was a wild smith. I remember feeling really envious: why hadn't I had books as lush and wild as these? (Michael Rosen on Brian Wildsmith from The Independent )
Praise for Animal Gallery 'His explorations of the natural world offer rich visual experiences. The baby owl's feathers . . . have a thistledown texture that makes you want to blow on the page . . . Fishes are speckled, stippled and splattered, and-with the subtle stained-glass luminosity of the underwater world-are as much paintings in their own right as they are illustrations.' (The Guardian )

Format:Paperback
I love this book being an elderly fan of Brian Wildsmith's work. I read so many of his books to my children. My grandson also seems to love this book having it read to him 5 times on first receiving it. I particularly like the splendid pictures and use of colour. There are many colourful children's books these days Wildsmith produces such excellent artwork compared with so much cartoon stuff. One can have too much of the latter.
Format:Paperback
One of the authors/illustrators I best remember sharing with my own children is Brian Wildsmith - his vibrant use of colour in beautiful patchwork-style drawings really stayed in my mind. It is wonderful to see these books reissued for a new generation. Four stories are brought together in this collection - Cat on the Mat; Toot Toot; All Fall Down; and The Island. Simple story lines and catchy repetitive text will appeal to young children and are great for reading aloud and for children to join in - they can identify the animals in the first story and enjoying making the sounds throughout. A writer who hits the mark perfectly for his audience.
