Cuddly, sweet-faced, and personality-filled animals in Fuge s inimitable style, plus a comforting story, add up to a winning combination. As long as you have good friends, you ll never really be lost. The popular follow-up to the bestselling Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball is now available as a board booksturdy enough for little hands opening it again and again. Critically acclaimed artist Charles Fuge joins with writer Angela McAllister to create a charmingly illustrated, deeply reassuring tale about getting lost and found again. When an endearing wombat and his friends play hide-and-seek, the little animal gets so involved in the game that he wanders over the hill and far away. Suddenly, Wombat realizes he s very, very alone.”
Angela McAllister took a degree in Humanities at Middlesex College before becoming a children’s book author. To date, she has written more than 80 books for children, including Lincoln Children’s bestselling titles A Year Full of Stories and A World Full of Animal Stories.
Charles Fuge was brought up in Bath, England, where a fanatical interest in wildlife translated into the drawing of animals. At Camberwell School of Art (where he was tutored by renowned illustrator John Lawrence), Fuge won the Macmillan Prize in 1988 for Bush Vark’s First Day Out. This book then won the Mother Goose Award the following year, and a career in children’s book illustration began. Fuge has since illustrated nearly 50 picture books. He lives in Dorset with his partner, Sarah, and their son, Oliver, and continues to write and illustrate for children.
