William Bee, the author-illustrator of And the
Train Goes..., And the Cars Go..., and other picture
books, is an artist and commercial designer who has worked for
renowned fashion houses, including Issey Miyake and Paul Smith. He
lives in England.
Kate Hindley has illustrated many books for children.
She lives in Worcestershire, England.
The winning message never obscures the book's fun. Hindley's
deliciously detailed illustrations, in pencil and paint, digitally
colored, bring Bee's story to boisterous life. The affection
between Albert and mild-mannered Sidney is palpable. Just
sublime.
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
The irony at the hear of Worst in Show—that Sidney's terribleness
at being a monster is what makes the sweet beast such a good friend
to Albert—directed at just the right level for kids. But the real
pleasure here is in the intricate illustrations fill of witty
treats that will make reading (and rereading, and rereading) a
pleasure. Parents beware!
—USA Today (syndicated)
The pencil and paint cartoons are digitally colored and depict a
television studio brimming with activity and details. Overall, a
fun and pleasing tale.
—School Library Journal
Monster-themed storytimes will benefit from this wry addition, and
kids will certainly declare Sidney a winner, sweet-smelling farts
and all.
—Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
This is a fun friendship story with wonderful illustrations that
readers will enjoy.
—School Library Connection
