So what will Gus do when a little puppy with a spring-in-his-step appears on the scene Giggle away those grumps with This is Gus, a hilarious picture book written and illustrated by the fantastic Chris Chatterton, about bad moods and learning to compromise. After all . . . we all have Gus days!

Author Bio

Chris Chatterton began his career in graphic design and animation, working on a variety of projects including Dr Who and CBBC's The Dumping Ground. Chris' passion for illustration then led him to pursue a career as a freelance artist working on a number of children's books including the Gremlins picture book series (Egmont) and Dino Diggers (Bloomsbury). Now writing the stories as well, Chris considers his Gus picture book story to be semi-autobiographical as he claims his loveable grumpy dog character is based on his own grumpy moods! Originally from County Durham, Chris now lives and works in the basement studio of his house in Newcastle Upon Tyne where he is also a Committee Member for the Society of Authors in the North.
