As most other reviewers have said, this book is excellent. It really is not a ‘how to’ book, but it doesnt claim to be, what it does do is inspire. I am just starting out learning illustration so the book has given me a few helpful tips on getting started, what to research, and working on developing your own style. As I progress the book will also be helpful as it has sections on creating dummy books, professional approaches to publishers etc, and dealing with invoices. If you want to understand more about illustration for childrens books, how to get started, and what is involved, this is a great book!

Mrs. H. –
I’ve paged through quite a lot of books of this type and I must say that I think this one is the best I’ve come across. Not only is it a visual delight, but it contains so much helpful information for the aspiring UK Children’s Book Illustrator that it would be difficult to do without it. My copy is only a month or so old, but I’ve already used it so much that the pages are dog-eared and the margins are filling up with my notes. I’m very glad I bought it.
