About the author

Val Biro (pronounced Beer-oh) was a children's author, artist and illustrator, was a native of Hungary, but was a resident in Sussex in England. He received his education in Budapest and London. His studio was located in Amersham in Buckinghamshire.

"I write so as to give my alter-ego a good chance for drawing pictures, though I find that the story I invent tends to run away with itself, leaving me, the illustrator, behind! Each story tends to be based on personal experience and, equally, each tends to grow out of that into the imagination. Each book seems to take a few months to gestate, and then I write it in one long day (or night)."

As a picture book, I think this has everything that would make it enjoyable for children. The pictures are all well illustrated and colourful. The story is enjoyable and amusing. I love the little cat that is always sitting with Jack's mum. Can't wait to read this to little Adelaide.
