Stanley the Amazing Knitting Cat

Description

Stanley LOVES to knit. He knocks up pom-poms at breakfast time, whips up bobble hats at bath time. He even knits in his sleep! And what does Stanley do with his wonderful woollies? He gives them to his friends of course - balaclavas for bunnies, neckwarmers for giraffes and much more besides. But when Stanley gets carried away with his dream of winning the Woolly Wonders Competition, he has to decide what's more important - his knitting or his friends? Another fabulously funny story from the creator of Wanted! Ralfy Rabbit, Book Burglar. Perfect for creative kids everywhere!

Emily Mackenzie is a freelance illustrator and graphic designer who graduated from Edinburgh College of Art. Working mainly with ink, digital collage and screen printing, Emily's illustrative work draws from childhood memories, an inquisitive nature and a vivid imagination. As well as drawing, Emily loves knitting and generally gets very excited about anything bright and colourful! This is Emily's second picture book for Bloomsbury, following on from the successful Wanted! Ralfy Rabbit, Book Burglar. Emily lives in Edinburgh.

MacKenzie's artwork, equally successful in portraying rabbit and human, is as bright, mischievous and witty as her prose.
