About the author

Hannah Shaw was born into a large family of sprout munching vegetarians.

As is the oldest child, she spent her formative years trying to be good at everything; from roller-skating to gymnastics. Hannah soon realised there wasn’t much chance of her becoming a gold medal winning gymnast, so she resigned herself to drawing pictures and writing stories!

By some mean feat Hannah found herself at the University of Brighton doing a degree in illustration. Soon an overwhelming obsession to make books took over her life. Inspired by her love of furry animals, Hannah wrote and illustrated her first picture book Evil Weasel, published by Jonathan Cape (Random House) in 2008. Her next book Erroll, about a boy who finds a squirrel in his packet of nuts, is out in 2009.

Hannah currently lives in a little cottage in the Cotswolds, with her husband Ben the blacksmith and her rescue dog Ren. Her over-active imagination fuels new ideas but unfortunately keeps her awake at night!

[Kath · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nice Christmassy book without actually having Santa in it. Instead, Fairyland has more fairies that work all year round to make and then deliver presents at Christmas time. But what happens when the exhausted Christmas fairies go on strike...? Not to fear, Unipiggle can magic up some chocolate to get us all through the most festive but also most tiring part of the year.

My daughter loves the Unipiggle books. She is 6. They are bright and colourful, funny, have some good storylines and characters. She likes looking at the map in the front. This one would be good to read in winter or Christmas. 4.5 rounded up.
