Mick Manning (Author) Mick Manning (born in Yorkshire, England, 1959) and Brita Granstrom (born in Eskilstuna, Sweden, 1969) work together as a team sharing the illustration and text. They have been producing award-winning non-fiction picture books for almost twenty years. They show that the best non-fiction for children can be scholarly, albeit with a light touch, and can have some of the imagination-stretching qualities of fiction. They are well known for their exciting performances involving readings and live drawing using overhead camera projection (often involving participation from members of the audience) all mixed with an audio-visual presentation. They appear on a regular basis at major UK book festival venues such as Bath, Cheltenham and Edinburgh International Book Festival. They have appeared at The Royal Society Science Festival and have celebrated The Big Draw at various venues including The Imperial War Museum. They have worked closely to support libraries and schools, performing voluntarily to school classes in the UK and Sweden and have also attended the American Library Conference and visited US schools. Many of Manning & Granstrom's books are translated into a number of languages, including Chinese, German, Greek, Danish, Japanese, Norwegian, Swedish and Slovakian. For the last 12 years Mick & Brita have created, written and illustrated a monthly 5-page gentle pre-school series called 'Max and Kate' for the critically acclaimed US children's magazine Ladybug. http://www.mickandbrita.com Selection of Franklin Watts books: The World Is Full of Babies!

PreS-K-The authors skillfully cover basic grooming and hygiene within a story framework. When several children receive party invitations, readers follow them as they get ready for the event, beginning with a nail cleaning and finishing up with a hair wash (and in one case, a mother removing lice). The youngsters arrive at the party spruced up but by the end of it they all look like they will need another round of "wash, scrub, brush." While explaining how children get clean, the author also describes in asides how animals groom themselves, sometimes with the assistance of other creatures. The book concludes with a head-to-toe review of keeping clean and a glossary of key terms with page references. The informative, colorful full-page and spot-art pencil-and-watercolor illustrations convey the light tone of the text and show both fathers and mothers tidying up their children.-Marilyn Ackerman, Brooklyn Public Library, NY
