Today we were lucky enough to listen to Gavin Bishop; author and illustrator of many well-loved children's books. He talked about his autobiography 'Piano Rock' and even shared his very old teddy-bear's autobiography too.
He explained that children's' picture books commonly have 32 pages because of the way books are printed. Gavin also read to us from a book for younger children and explained that the illustrations are purposefully blocky and bright. He then showed us a very detailed original illustration from his book 'Rats!'His stories about writing and illustrating books were fantastic to hear and our class asked some excellent questions.
