A Very Curious Bear

Tony Mitton is a children’s poet whose previous collections of writing have received huge critical acclaim. His gently mesmerising and humorous poems are irresistible to children and adults alike. He does a lot of events, school visits and readings, and always leaves his audience entranced.

Paul Howard’s charming illustrations have won him acclaim across the world. His career in illustration began when he was asked by a friend to do some drawings for a book. Paul went on to illustrate another book…and another…and another. Paul’s awards include ‘Best Book To Read Aloud’ Blue Peter Award for ‘The Bravest Ever Bear’ by Allan Ahlberg. He has also won a Primary English Award for Kathy Henderson’s ‘Year In The City’. Paul lives in Belfast with his wife and three children.
