Play the Shape Game

by Anthony Browne

Celebrities, authors and illustrators join the Children's Laureate Anthony Browne in this fun novelty book encouraging children to be creative and use their imaginations.

Everyone from Quentin Blake and Shirley Hughes through to Emma Thompson and Ian McEwan has tried their hand at Anthony Browne's Shape Game in this book - and they've also drawn their own shapes so readers can join in the game too.

All profits from the book are going to children's charity Rainbow Trust, which provides emotional and practical support to families who have a child with a life-threatening or terminal illness.
