Axel was born in Hamburg, Germany. At school he was good at art, but didn’t think of a career in illustration until he won a cuddly purple cow in a drawing competition.
He moved to England in 1982 to learn English and study illustration at the Bath Academy of Art and then set up home in London. Axel illustrated a number of books for various publishers, and in 1993 Kate suggested him as the illustrator for Julia Donaldson’s first picture book text, A Squash and a Squeeze. This was the start of a hugely successful partnership: their bestselling modern classic, The Gruffalo, has sold over three-and-a-half million copies worldwide, and the TV animation was broadcast on Christmas day 2009.
Axel has illustrated a number of other highly successful books, including Muddle Farm, and his books have been translated into 42 languages.
Axel lives in London with his partner and young daughter.
A great interactive book for hours of fun making up stories or talking animals and farm life.
Be sure to supervise while playing Muddle Farm with any children who chew books. It's advised the tots be 3+ Years. Magnates are not chew friendly for the obvious reasons.
My daughter was bought this book just at the age where playing with small magnets became possible. Initially she just liked making scenes with the animals on the different pages. Then we started reading it and doing it properly and now she makes up her own adventure stories of what the animals are doing!
