Edit: (Here's the review!)

The Illustration Cupboard's John Huddy and Oliver Jeffers, unwrapping his shiny new sheriff badge

The Big Picture's top ten, left to right: Oliver Jeffers, Mini Grey, Lisa Evans, Emily Gravett, David Lucas, Vicky White, Catherine Rayner, Polly Dunbar and Joel Stewart (Alexis Deacon is missing in that shot)

Polly Dunbar and her writer mum, Joyce Dunbar

Jeffers and Mini Grey

David Roberts, writer Sue Eves and me. (Joel Stewart in the background.) I'm a big fan of David Roberts, so I was miffed he was only one of the two honourable mentions. A Write Away reviewer recently reviewed Mouse Noses on Toast, but hardly mentioned Roberts' amazing illustrations, which are the best thing in the book. I don't normally comment, but I had to add something on that one. And I think his book 'Little Red' is brilliant.
