About this ebook
David Roberts
David Roberts is a hugely talented and versatile artist and author. David began his career in fashion illustration, and his sharp eye for form and composition is showcased beautifully in his books with Andrea Beaty, which include Ada Twist, Scientist and Iggy Peck, Architect. His work ranges from feisty retellings of fairy tales created in collaboration with his sister, Lyn (Little Red, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel), to his brilliantly funny books with Julia Donaldson such as Tyrannosaurus Drip, The Troll and The Cook and the King. In 2006 he won the Nestlé Children’s Book Prize Gold Award for his line drawings in Mouse Noses On Toast, and Little Red was shortlisted for the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal. David’s sense of humour shines through in all his work, but especially his illustrations for The Bolds series by Julian Clary and the madcap Dirty Bertie books. Suffragette: The Battle for Equality was David’s first self-authored book and is an exquisitely illustrated history of the women’s suffrage movement, which has been a passion of David’s since his school days.

Kaita Knows All

Hi, Mom! Hi, Ollie!
I said. I gave my mom a hug. Then I patted my mini dachshund on his head.
Yip! Yip! Yip! Ollie was always happy to see me.
Mom handed Ollie’s leash to me, and the three of us headed home. Ollie trotted in front. I loved how he held his tail high.
How was your day today, Kaita?
Mom asked.
Great!
I said. "You’ll never guess what Mrs. Werner told the class. She said I’m an animal expert!"
An expert, huh?
Mom said. She looked at me and winked.
"OK, maybe I’m not an expert, I said.
I have really learned a lot, though, since last year."
"Yes, we’ve all learned
