There's a Thing on my street. He lives at number 52. I see him sitting in his front yard when I walk to school. He was big and lumbering and a wore a tiny top hat perched on top of his rather large head. She didn't think he had any friends, so she brought him a flower. It wasn't long before their friendship bloomed...the Thing was gentle and kind and the adventures they went on were the best she could ever imagine. The girl soon discovered that there were many Things, living all over the place...which gave her an idea. She invited them all to a party, and the Things danced till midnight.

      Ross Montgomery has worked as a farmer, a postman, and a school teacher, so writing books was the next logical step. He spent his childhood reading everything he could get his hands on, and it taught him pretty much everything that's worth knowing. If you looked through his pockets you'd find empty chip packets, lists of things to do, and a bottle of that stuff you put on your nails to stop you biting them. He lives in London with his girlfriend, a cat called Fun Bobby, and a cactus on every available surface.Richard Johnson is an illustrator whose picture books are published by Penguin, Faber & Faber, Macmillan, DK and many other publishers. His work is deeply thoughtful and conjures powerful atmospheres with detailed, delicate pencil strokes.
