Review
'Here are some collage pictures that should prompt a discussion about materials and methods with children.' --Nursery World

'Clare Beaton has produced another of her attractive fabric collages in How Loud is a Lion? with a simple text by Tessa Blackstone. All the jungle animals parade in ingeniously designed spreads, building up to the appearance of the lion.' --Bookseller

About the Author
On good days, Stella Blackstone lives east of the sun and west of the moon. On less good days, she lives at the bottom of a well. She finds ideas in all of these places and turns them into songs, poems and rhymes. She has read and written poetry for as long as she can remember, and her favourite books include Louis Untermeyer?s A Child's Treasury of Poetry, which was a constant companion throughout her childhood, Paolo Coelho's The Alchemist, everything by T.S. Eliot, and William Buck's translation of The Ramayana. She lives in southwest England, and enjoys walking and working in her garden as well as doing nothing whenever she has the chance. Clare Beaton worked at the BBC for eight years, illustrating on many children's television programmes. She is now highly sought-after creator of handcrafted children's picture books. Clare has had nearly fifty books published, including One Moose, Twenty Mice (Barefoot Books, 1998) and Mother Goose Remembers (Barefoot Books, 2000), both of which have attracted considerable praise.

RRRROOOOAAARRRR!
My 11 month old loves this and has started roaring at the right place in the book! I love all Clare Beaton's books, and I think this one has some of her most complex compositions. Lovely mixture of African print fabrics, felt and haberdashery bits and pieces. The animals are instantly recognisable and babies seem to love the pictures!

grrrrrrrreat
