About the Author

Mick Manning grew up in Haworth, West Yorkshire, and studied Illustration at the Royal College of Art in London. He has written and illustrated over 60 books, mostly with his partner Brita Granstrom. Their distinctive books have won many awards. Their first book, The World is Full of Babies, won the Smarties Silver Prize in 1996. Their other books with Frances Lincoln include the critically acclaimed Fly on the Wall series: Roman Fort, Pharaoh's Egypt, Viking Longship, Greek Hero, Tail-End Charlie and What Mr Darwin Saw. Both Roman Fort and Viking Longship were shortlisted for the English Association 4-11 Awards and Greek Hero won in 2008. Snap! is the follow-up to Yuck! which was a regional winner of the Highland Book Awards 2006. Recently Mick and Brita donated the entire body of work created for their book Fly on the Wall: Greek Hero to Seven Stories, the center for children's books Mick and Brita live in the Scottish Borders and have four sons.

Gr 2-5-This book explains in simple, readable language various creative methods for budding artists. The authors present a wide range of two- and three-dimensional techniques, from the traditional to the experimental. Topics such as scale, color theory, and use of light and shadow provide a good foundation for the suggested projects. Each lesson includes basic instructions, several project ideas, and special pointers set within colored borders. While some of the required supplies may be found at home, some of the brushes, paints, and papers may need to be purchased. This slim, attractive book has a casual and inviting format. Its bright colors, charming cartoon illustrations, and informal layout will encourage interested children to jump right in and exercise their imaginations.-Paula A.
