Children's author, Diana Kimpton, has made five of her picture book texts available in this slim volume so aspiring illustrators of all ages can try out their skills. Ideal for artists, teachers and parents, this book comes complete with wide-ranging permission to use the stories for personal practise and in class. Three of the stories have been previously published in picture book form while the other two are brand new. The published stories include the text of Diana's most successful picture book, The Bear Father Christmas Forgot, which was one of the Children's Book Council Children's Choices for 1996
