Any pre schooler will be chanting the alphabet in no time with this incredibly colourful and exuberant book. It might start with 'A is for Apple' but then it simply takes off and demonstrates what can be done to an essential book with the experience and creativity of this award winning team of author and illustrator.
An alphabet book, which is about two friends, Sue and Nick, who like very different things but are still best friends. They take us through all their favourite things from ABC all the way to XYZ.
After graduating from Hull College of Art, Sue Heap worked in animation and as a designer at several children's book publishers - this was how she met her friend Nick Sharratt when she was responsible for his first picture book. Sue has illustrated over thirty children's books, including Cowboy Baby for which she won the prestigious Smarties Prize. She's lived in many places including Egypt, Germany and Singapore, and now lives in Oxfordshire.
Nick Sharratt took an Arts Foundation course at Manchester Polytechnic and a BA in Graphic Design at St Martin's. He is well-known for his illustration of the books of Jacqueline Wilson and Jeremy Strong and for his own titles. He has won many awards, including the Children's Book Award in 2001 for Eat Your Peas. Nick lives in Brighton.
