Julia Eccleshare's comment:
The gorgeous bright colours of Emma Chichester Clark’s illustrations make this chunky board book irresistible. Favourite toy Blue Kangaroo thinks he’s in danger of being replaced by Wild Brown Bear, Yellow Cotton Rabbit, two furry puppies and many more soft toys all of whom are crowded into Lily’s bed. Sadly, he hops off to the baby’s cot. Lily soon discovers that there are some things she just can’t give up to the baby and Blue Kangaroo is one of them. A must for anyone who understands the importance of a favourite soft toy!

'Blue Kangaroo is a winner.' - T.E.S. 'A profoundly satisfying and rewarding book.' - Carousel. 'Irresistible... brimming with Aaah factor.' - The Bookseller'About The Author
Emma Chichester Clark studied at the Chelsea School of Art and the Royal College of Art, where she was taught by Quentin Blake. She has worked as a freelance illustrator for various magazines including New Scientist, Cosmopolitan and The Sunday Times, and has also illustrated numerous book jackets.
In 1988 she won the Mother Goose Award for her first book, Listen to This!, an anthology compiled by Laura Cecil. She also won the Kate Greenaway medal in 1988. Since then, she has become internationally known, illustrating writers such as Roald Dahl, Peter Dickinson, Anne Fine and Margaret Mahy. Emma was the first winner of the newly created Grinzane Junior Award for I Love you, Blue Kangaroo.
Emma was born in London but raised in Ireland. She started drawing "just about as soon as I could hold a pencil. But I could never find enough paper and my mother wouldn't let me use her Basildon Bond. So secretly I used to tear the blank pages out of her grown-up books and draw on them and make my own little books."
