About the Author:
Judy Hindley was brought up in California, the eldest of six children who all delighted in stories, books, and jokes. "One of our favorite activities was making little camps and getaway places," she recalls. "But we never imagined a set of visitors as wonderful as Rosy’s." Judy Hindley’s picture books include THE BIG RED BUS, THE BEST THING ABOUT A PUPPY, and THE PERFECT LITTLE MONSTER.
Helen Craig is the illustrator of many books for children, including the best-selling Angelina books, This Is the Bear series, and the Bonnie Bumble books.

From Booklist:
Helen Craig is the illustrator of many books for children, including the best-selling Angelina books, This Is the Bear series, and the Bonnie Bumble books. About ROSY'S VISITORS she says, "I really loved illustrating this book, though I had to dig deep into my imagination to find out who the visitors were going to be!"
Ages 5-8. A sweet, summery tale in which the suggestions in the text are taken to wondrous places in the pictures. Rosy decides she needs a new house, so she packs up her books and toys in her wagon and goes out the back door. She finds just the right place, which turns out to be a hollow in a backyard tree. She sweeps, and tidies, and makes a special place to sit and read and think. Then she makes a path of marbles and blocks for her visitors to follow. When Rosy's guests--bears and bunnies, fairies and barefoot boys--do arrive, they come on winged dragonflies and geese, carrying presents and bowls of food. After the visit, Rosy packs up to go back home to Mom, arriving just in time for supper. The sprightly colored pencil-and-watercolor art, in the green-floral hues of summer, is full of nice detail: from Rosy's rosebud-patterned dress to the onion-domed palace Rosy spies in the distance, from whence come her many visitors.
