But long before he began his professional life, he had won his first drawing prize for an international chocolate company – his prize was a cuddly lilac cow.This title is a riot of slapstick fun and silliness, sure to entice even the most reluctant of readers. Yesterday a parent came over to tell me how impressed she was by the book fair and that you did a fabulous job of selling the books to the children first.
