Reviews

full of colourful and clever illustrations, and repetitive text that will engage and delight young children. * Scoop Magazine *
hilarious children will be laughing out loud. The story works well as a read-aloud, but is even better for one-on-one sharing so that you can make the most of the illustrations * Picture Book Nook *
...a picture book that kids will want to listen to again and again. I love it. * The Book Chook *
It's a cumulative text; it's silly and funny and suspenseful; and it's always my go-to when presenting to pre-schoolers and early primary. * James Foley Books *

Author Bio

Born in Western Australia, James Foley is the eldest of three children. James started his illustration career in primary school by drawing cartoons for the school newspaper. Unfortunately, the paper only lasted one issue, probably because his class faked a fire in the school hall using smoke machines to get their story on the front page. James started working more officially as a freelance illustrator in 2003 when he drew his first cover for the Western Australias weekly Quokka newspaper. James enjoys presenting workshops at schools and libraries and is always delighted to see the natural enthusiasm children bring to drawing, especially when they draw just for themselves and dont care if its good enough or not. In the Lion is his first book with Walker Books Australia. For more information about the author, please visit his website: www.jamesfoley.com.au
