\nToday over at Kirkus<\/em>, I write about Michael Rosen’s<\/a><\/strong> A Great Big Cuddle: Poems for the Very Young<\/em>, illustrated by Chris Riddell<\/a><\/strong> (Candlewick, September 2015). That link is here<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Last week, I wrote (here<\/a><\/strong>) about Macmillan’s The Complete Alice<\/em>, celebrating 150 years of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland<\/em>. Today I’ve got a small handful of illustrations from the book — the ones colored by Diz Wallis in 1995. <\/p>\n

Enjoy. <\/p>\n
