About the author

Cressida Cowell grew up in London and on a small, uninhabited island off the west coast of Scotland. She was convinced that there were dragons living on this island, and has been fascinated by dragons ever since. She has a BA in English Literature from Oxford University, a BA in Graphic Design from St Martin's and an MA in Narrative Illustration from Brighton. Cressida loves illustrating her own work, but also loves writing books for other people to illustrate as the end result can be so unexpected and inspiring. Cressida has written and illustrated eight books in the popular Hiccup series. The unique blend of child centred humour and sublime prose made Hiccup an instant hit. How to Train Your Dragon is now published in over 30 languages. A DreamWorks Animation feature film is out in March 2010.

Reviews

[Aimee Louise · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love this book, I hadn't read it since I was about 5 and it still makes me chuckle. It's a good book for children to recognise familiar nursery rhyme and fairytale characters and it is interactive with the pull out 'library books'.

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep and, as she searches for them, she finds Little Boy Blue reading a book. He suggests Little Bo Peep go to the library to see if she can find a book on finding lost sheep.

Little Bo Peep looks in the library; Mother Goose, the librarian, sends her to the food section. There she finds the Wolf, reading "Basic Little Girl Cookery." He sends her to the crime section where she finds the Queen of Hearts reading "Who Stole the Tarts? She sends Little Bo Peep to the natural history section where she finds exactly what she needs!

Little Bo Peep takes "How to Find Sheep," to the librarian to get the book stamped, and then she goes home. She reads the book and then opened her door. What do you think she found?

Young readers ages four through seven will want to keep this charming book in their own personal libraries. Cleverly created with three booklets [the three Little Bo Peep finds on her search through the library] tucked into the pages illustrating library shelves. Several easily-recognized nursery rhyme characters play a part in Little Bo Peep's search; the imaginative illustrations show the sheep following Little Bo Peep everywhere she goes and thwarting the Big Bad Wolf's plan to eat Little Bo Peep. Young readers will find all of this quite delightful and "Little Bo Peep's Library Book" is sure to become a favorite.

Highly recommended.

This is an interactive book as Bo Peep goes to the library, and you can take out and read the little "books" that she reads in the library! Really gorgeous and a little like "Each peach pear plum" in the use of fairy tale tie-ins.

If your kid knows their Goldilocks, Big Bad Wolf, Red Riding Hood then there are fun Easter Eggs in this book. I really liked the interactive pull out books from Mother Goose Library and my daughter has fallen in love with this book overall.

Good for a story time. Great for a lap read. There are so many things going on in the illustrations.

Little Bo Peep's Library Book by Cressinda Cowell - Such a cute little book! Unfortunately, I don't think it is a good idea to have a book that has three other small books that are removable in the library. I've enjoyed having other books in the library that had removable components that unfortunately disappeared quickly. I'm a huge fan of the How to Train Your Dragon series...

[Library Quine · Rating 3 out of 5]

Little Bo Peep searches the library for a book to help her locate her sheep. There are lots of references to other nursery rhyme characters, and some pull out books to make the experience a little more interesting.
