Dot and Dash and their friends Big, Tall and Small are ready to play with their toys but nobody wants to share. Dot does not want to share the ball and Dash does not want to share the truck but when Dash and Small try to play with Teddy at the same time, everyone needs a time out. All the toys are wonderfully touchy-feely.
Emma Dodd was brought up in a family of artists and from as far back as she can remember she has wanted to be an illustrator. I Love My Mummy, written by Giles Andreae and illustrated by Emma, won the Booktrust award in 2010. Among Emma’s favourite things in life are surfing with her kids, punctuality and Scrabble. Things she cannot abide include heights, pate and children who complain that they are bored. ‘How can you ever be bored,’ she says, ‘when you can always draw a picture?’ Emma lives in Surrey.
