[zippitippitoes]

his books look lovely {http://www.colinthompson.com/page2.htm\ do you know them}

Can you recommend any?

these

We have The Last Alchemist and Castles. I prefer The Last Alchemist- start with that one! The stories are nothing much to speak of but the illustrations are magical with so many minute details you find something new every time you look. Both my boys love them - and they are 9 and 4 so that's saying something, there aren't many books they can enjoy together.

I didn't know he'd done so many....I like the look of that Atlantis one.

The Paperbag Prince is fantastic. I think I like it much more than the kids.

We love the Paperbag Prince too. Present from MIL (admitted through gritted teeth )
