The Time it Took Tom
by Nick Sharratt and Stephen Tucker
Tom finds a pot of red paint and while his mother is in the garden, he paints the entire sitting-room red, including the furniture! Although this transformation takes only three hours, it takes three months to get everything back to normal!
A humorous picture book, beautifully illustrated and ideal for reading aloud and sharing.

Nick liked drawing from an early age. 'When I was nine,' he says, 'a picture that I'd drawn at school was pinned up in the hall, and the husband of one of the teachers saw it and offered me five pounds to do a similar picture for him. That's when I decided I was going to be a professional artist one day! I nearly always drew in felt tip pens then, and I liked drawing big crowd scenes. I'd start in the bottom left-hand corner of the paper and just let the picture grow, telling myself stories about each of the characters in turn as I drew them.'
