LoveReading4Kids Says
Two dads and their three children set out on a joyful adventure to meet the Rainbowsaurus. As they search they meet an array of colourful and wonderfully noisy creatures.
Bold illustrations and a fabulous rhyme make this a joy to read aloud and share. The use of repetition and colourful animal characters encourage young readers to join in with the story, spotting the animals and mimicking their sounds. Animals in an array of non-traditional colours, make this a fun and bold story, whilst gently underlining the inclusive message of celebrating difference.
Read to the tune of ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’, it’s a pleasure to read this book aloud - which is a good job as demands for re-reads will be high!
Like a smile in book form. This is a future classic and a must have addition to all picture book collections.

About Steve Antony
Steve Antony is a highly talented and versatile author-illustrator. He has had a passion for storytelling from an early age, but it was the MA in Children's Book Illustration at Cambridge that really enabled him to channel this passion. Since embarking on the MA course, he has enjoyed creating picture books on a range of subjects from the Queen's hat to a war between rectangles and lizards! He aims to create picture books that are slightly 'off the wall', books that children will laugh at and adults will tweet about, but most of all, books that he enjoys.
Since his 2014 debut, multi award-winning author-illustrator Steve Antony has so far written and illustrated 18 picture books and sold over one million copies worldwide, and 7 of his titles have been nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal.
His Mr Panda series has sold over 700,000 copies worldwide and was recently optioned for TV by Magic Light Pictures. His highly acclaimed The Queen's Hat (the first instalment of the Queen Collection) was adapted into a musical concert by the London Symphony Orchestra and won the Evening Standard's Oscars Book Prize. His Queen's Hat inspired Shaun the Sheep statue raised £15,000 for the Wallace and Gromit Children's Charity.
He plays an active role in his local community as Patron to Swindon Libraries Children's Services and recently designed their library card. He is an Ambassador for The National Literacy Trust , an active supporter of Beanstalk and a vocal advocate for more incidental inclusiveness in children's literature, having written several articles on the subject. Through his art, Steve has helped raise thousands for various UK charities including My AFK, BookTrust, Willow Foundation and Wallace and Gromit Children's Charity.
Steve's studied at Anglia Ruskin University after taking voluntary redundancy from a Swindon call centre. Steve was part-raised in New Mexico and now lives in Swindon UK with his husband and cat.
