About the author

Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name. See this thread for more information.


Jane has tried her hand at landscape gardening, futon making, teaching basket weaving and soft toy making but only truly loves writing and illustrating children's books. Jane shot to fame with the success of her DAISY picture books, all about an irresistible little duck with big feet. More success followed with EBB AND FLO, whose characters were brought to life on television. Jane, her partner, and her menagerie of rescued pets travel the Mediterranean on an ex-fishing boat - and her adventures have provided the inspiration for many of her books. Most recently Jane has turned her hand to fiction, with the exciting adventures of BERYL GOES WILD and SHIP'S CAT DORIS.

Another sweet picture book for toddlers.

A short "go to sleep" book. It is awfully short, so we'll find out in a few months if it's actually long enough to convince a toddler to sleep. As it is, cute but boring.

This book has been enjoyed in our home. Its a medium sized board book with beautiful illustrations. We have loved all the books about Daisy that we could find! Good for babies, toddlers, preschoolers and early readers.

Beautiful illustrations and a simple story. It was short, but good for little hands, and colourful as well.
