Round up 15th June

This week has been a bit less busy and I managed 4 out of 5 Daily Doodles plus an extra for Judith Kerr's birthday (The Tiger Who Came To Tea) which was Saturday.

From my sketchbook...

The Emperor's New Clothes:

The Little Mermaid:
This is a homage to my favourite mermaid, Iris, from Oliver and The Seawigs by Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre (you can follow them on Twitter @philipreeve1 and @jabberworks). A brilliant book!

The Princess and The Pea:
If it's not peas keeping her awake, it's princes waking her up! 

The Tortoise and The Hare:
This lead to me having to remember/make up the story to tell Chickpea. Which of course means it's her favourite story ever (until the next one)!

Finally it was Judith Kerr's 91st birthday on Saturday 14th June and I wanted to do something as The Tiger Who Came To Tea (amongst her other books) is such a well known classic and iconic book.

She's a fascinating person and there was a brilliant documentary on her last year (I think it was BBC but I'm happy to be corrected). If it's still around do watch it.

Daily Doodle Round Up

It's been a bit tricky but I've managed to do all the @Daily__Doodle suggestions this week (and the one from last week too), just! This week was Classic children's books. I may have gone slightly off piste with some of the topics but that doesn't really matter. It's all about the taking part!

If you've not had a go they are on Facebook and Twitter. Pick up a pen, pencil, crayon or whatever you like and join in the fun.

Lawrence The Red Bear:

The Very Hungry Caterpillar:

The Cat In The Hat:

Room On The Broom:

Peter Rabbit:

The Tiger Who Came To Tea:

It starts again on Monday morning. Pens at the ready!

Mermaid Day

It's the lovely @Jabberworks (Sarah McIntyre) birthday and so here's a mermaid for her.

If you've not discovered her books I strongly urge you to go find them in your local book shop and buy them. They're awesome!

Where There's Smoke...

From my sketchbook: Poor little dragon was only trying to cool her tea down.
