Princess Poppy dresses up as Alice in Wonderland and learns just how fun a good story can be in this celebration of reading
Janey was born in Edinburgh and grew up by the seaside just outside
the city. Janey published the first two Princess Poppy books
herself (with her own illustrations) and the books were so popular
that Random House Children's Books soon bought the series and
re-packaged the books. The series is now going from strength to
strength, including picture books, activity books and sumptuous
gift books. Janey has also written novels for young readers and the
Princess Poppy Cookbook all of which have been very successful.
Janey read English at Edinburgh University specializing in the
Victorian novel. Following this she became a teacher - a career
that she absolutely adored - and then, with her husband, set up The
Jelly Club, which has become an extremely successful chain of
children's activity centres in Scotland. She still very much enjoys
visiting schools and talking to children to find out what they like
doing and what makes them laugh. Janey lives in Edinburgh with
their three sons.
This is a wonderful celebration of an event familiar to most
children and it will be the perfect book to share with children in
celebration of books and reading - especially in your own Reading
Week. Lots of charming detail in the pictures too. Princess Poppy
is a modern-day princess with lots of friends and plenty of
imagination.
