Chris Riddell books
We're thrilled to announce that Children's Laureate Chris Riddell will be releasing a fun picture/activity book.
Chris's Doodle-a-Day diary will be great for doodlers and features step-by-step guides, colouring in and story starters.
The book's publisher, Macmillan Children's Books, are kindly donating 20p from every copy sold in the UK to Book Trust, which will be available from 22 October.
Since being announced as Children's Laureate back in June, Chris has been doodling every day, and these pictures can be seen on the Children's Laureate site. Chris also kindly made Illustrations in Search of a Story - a fun activity for children and teens - for the Book Trust website.
So, before his Doodle-a-Day diary is released, relive or discover some of Chris's previous books and illustrations.
