About the Author:
James Mayhew studied at Maidstone College of Art and his first children's book, Katie's Picture Show was published in 1989. It's been firmly in print ever since, recognised universally as the original and best introduction to art for children. Many more titles have followed, and the series sells in museums and galleries all over the world, from the Met in New York, to the Uffizi in Florence, the Louvre in Paris and beyond. He is also the creator of the much-loved Ella Bella Ballerina series, and many other titles. Alongside his work in publishing, James has devised and performed in a hugely successful series of concerts for children, combining live classical music, storytelling and live art. From Peter and the Wolf, to Scheherazade, James has worked internationally with many different orchestras and musicians, creating illustrations in time to music. James grew up in Suffolk but now lives in Hertfordshire.
From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 2–A small caveboy seeks a warm, comfortable place on a cool, cloudy morning. His parents suggest he share their bed, but he wants a snug space all to himself. He goes off in search of "warm" and encounters several animals, including a saber-toothed tiger, a woolly mammoth, and a dinosaur. Each one discourages the boy from sharing theirspot. Finally, a fiery volcano convinces the lad to head home and he realizes that sharing a bed with his parents is the coziest, most secure, and best place for him. The engaging, full-spread illustrations reveal a tiny, thatch-haired child made even smaller compared with the large animals and wide-open spaces of his homeland. A gentle lesson in learning to share.–Maryann H. Owen, Racine Public Library, WI
