About the Author
Laurence Anholt has written over seventy books, many in collaboration with his wife Catherine. They are both highly regarded in the UK and abroad as a successful author/illustrator team, and have had their books translated into many different languages.
They met as undergraduates at Falmouth School of Art, and went on to achieve Master's Degrees from the Royal Academy of Art and the Royal College respectively.
The books which they have collaborated on are based firmly within their own family's experiences, and many of Catherine's illustrations depict scenes which families will recognise. It is this element which has helped to make their books so successful.
Laurence also writes and illustrates his own books, and has written books with other illustrators, notably the Seriously Silly Stories, a topsy turvy series based on traditional tales but with a wonderful new twist. These were hilariously illustrated by Arthur Robins. In this series, Snow White and the Seven Aliens was awarded The Smarties Book Prize, and was shortlisted for the Federation of Children's Book Groups Children's Book Award and the Experian Big Three Book Prize. Daft Jack and the Beanstack was on the Sheffield Book Award shortlist and Ghostyshocks and the Three Scares was Pick of the Year for the Children's Book Award.
Laurence writes for a wide range of ages and is one of the most popular authors of today.
Catherine and Laurence Anholt live in Lyme Regis with their three children.
Arthur Robins is known and loved the world over for his witty and lively picture books and cartoons. He has illustrated numerous and much-loved books for Orchard, including the ever-popular Seriously Silly series, written by Laurence Anholt, and the picture book Itsy-Bitsy House, which was shortlisted for the Stockport Children's Book Award in 2005. Baby Christmas is his first collaboration with Michael Lawrence and has sold to numerous countries. Arthur lives in Surrey, near his two grown-up daughters.

Format:Paperback
My children (aged 6 and 8) love this book. It is funny, slightly naughty and is quite easy to read as the print is large, and there are only one or two sentences per page. The illustrations are whacky. I like it too as it makes a refreshing change from the often cloyingly earnest world of the "young reader". Will definitely be tracking down a few more in the silly stories series.

Format:Library Binding
I originally bought the box set of Seriously Silly Stories about 3 years ago to read to my Year 4 class and before I knew it, I had children queing up to borrow them, in particular, the boys. They are incredibly funny stories based on traditional fairytales but with a commical twist. Stories such as Cinderboy and Eco Wolf and the Three Pigs had the children in my class laughing away and begging for more stories. These books are now well thumbed and I have continued to use them with other classes but I would say they are better suited to juniors. I cannot recommend these stories enough!
Format:Paperback
These stories are fab for kids around 5-8. They are a nice change for the young imagination that is bored with the usual 3 pigs story that your child had probably heard a million times at school.
My soon to be 12 year old still reads his!

Eco-fun for kids!
Loved this story. A short re-telling of an old tale set to the modern theme of an eco-minded main character (the big 'bad' wolf!). Read more

This book is fantastic
I love this book. It is a re-take on the traditional 3 Pigs story but in this one the wolf is the hero. I will buy it again as I gave my copy away.
