About the Author:
Laurence and Catherine Anholt are a husband and wife team who have worked together on over sixty popular picture books. They met as students on a Fine Art course at Falmouth School of Art. Cathy then went on to study at the Royal College of Art and Laurence at the Royal Academy. Their titles include the Walker titles What I Like, What Makes Me Happy?, The Twins Two By Two, Here Come the Babies, Kids and The Big Book of Families. First Words, one of four chunky board books recently published, was shortlisted for the 2000 Sainsbury's Baby Book Award. The couple live and work in a rambliing old farmhouse (haunted, of course!) in Lyme Regis, Dorset, with their three children - Claire and twins Thomas and Maddy. You can find out more about the couple and their books by visiting their website (http:www.anholt.co.uk). Catherine and Laurence Anholt say of Come Back, Jack!, "It is a NOISY story - we have read it aloud to big groups of children, and when two hundred kids yell, 'Come back, Jack!' at the top of their voices, everyone knows about it for miles around! The cover of a book is a door into a magical world - you knock on the front, take off your shoes and socks (so the pages don't get dirty!) then you step right inside..."
From Kirkus Reviews:
Jack can't read yet; still, he loves books so much that he slips right inside one, leading his older sister, who follows, a merry chase as he becomes one ``Jack'' after another. From the bottom of the hill where she's spilled her pail, Jill sends the sister on to the house that Jack built, where he's jumping over a candlestick; in the end, the two escape from a giant down a beanstalk and back out of the book. The adventures are whisked through rather than developed, and the conclusion (``perhaps books aren't boring after all,'' muses the sister) falls a little flat, but tots will enjoy identifying favorite characters, especially in the lighthearted illustrations. The relevant rhymes are included on the endpapers. (Picture book. 3-7) -- Copyright ©1994, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
