Maggie and Rose's Lovely Story - Maggie Bolger
Tuesday, August 18, 2009 at 12:27PM A trip to the sea sidetown of Whistable at the weekend unearthed this interesting book in a small local bookstore. Firstly the book struck me and being fantastically creative in it's design and illustration, I especially love the bleeding paint technique which gives the pictures such a sense of spontaneity and movement. Secondly what really grabbed my eye is that it was published by Pucci Books, a small London based publisher I'd never heard of before. Maggie and Rose is also a pretty cool wast London menmbers club which is where the book was born and created. Sound like a fantastic space for kids and parents.

Get your children involved with this beautifully illustrated book. Your child will love to match up words and pictures, and find Liam, who keeps hiding in his bedroom. Perfect for the young reader!
