Picture book of the month

Underneath the cherry tree in our garden there is a little hole...

When a little boy's ball disappears down a mysterious hole in the garden, he can't stop thinking about what could be down there - a little mouse's house? The lair of a hungry troll? Or maybe even a dragon's den.

Whatever it may be, he's determined to find out!

A glorious imaginative adventure from the award-winning creator of Aunt Amelia and Lunchtime, and illustrator of The Paper Dolls, written by Julia Donaldson. 

Rebecca Cobb is rapidly establishing herself as one of the most talented new names in the world of children's books. Her debut solo project, the heart-breakingly beautiful Missing Mummy was published by Macmillan in 2011, followed by two gorgeously funny books: Lunchtime, winner of the 2013 Waterstones Children's Book Prize and shortlisted for the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal, and the critically acclaimed Aunt Amelia.

The Something is her fourth solo project, showcasing her stunning illustrations and warm, witty storytelling. Rebecca lives in Cornwall.

The Something is available online and from all good booksellers.
