About the author
Brian Wildsmith
253 books55 followersBrian Wildsmith (1930-2016) was raised in a small mining village in Yorkshire, England, where, he says, "Everything was grey. There wasn't any colour. It was all up to my imagination. I had to draw in my head..."
He won a scholarship to the Slade School of Fine Art where he studied for three years. For a while he taught music at the Royal Military School of Music, but then gave it up so that he could paint full time.
He has deservedly earned a reputation as one of the greatest living children's illustrators. In 1962, he published his first children's book, ABC, for which he was awarded the Kate Greenaway Medal, Britain's equivalent to the Caldecott Medal. He was also a runner up for this medal for The Owl and the Woodpecker.
Wildsmith has said: "I believe that beautiful picture books are vitally important in subconsciously forming a child's visual appreciation, which will bear fruit in later life."
In 1994, the Brian Wildsmith Art Museum was established in Izukogen, a town south of Tokyo, Japan. Almost one and a half million people visited a traveling exhibition of his work in 2005. Eight hundred of his paintings are on loan to the museum.
Brian is married, has four children, and currently lives in the south of France.

Have always loved Wildsmith’s illustrations since I encountered them many years ago. This title is filled with the same detail and bright colors as his other titles.
The illustrations in this title were chosen from twelve other previously published picture books illustrated by Wildsmith that fit the farm animal theme.
A re-look at this title just because I like Brian Wildsmith, first published in 2001, this is processor of the technique now being used in all the Erica Carle titles being released since his passing. Carle’s publishers use various single images from various titles to create new story.

This is a delightful board book! It's fun to see how a non-English culture perceives the sounds made by the animals!
