NEW! Big Eyes, Scary Voice, illustrated by Carl Pearce (2008, Tamarind/Random House Children's Books, UK, and Random House Australia) for ages 3-5 years
(ISBN 978-1-870-51688-4)
Tania and Josh hear a scary voice calling in the park at sunset. They walk warily along the path, listening and exploring. They see a fountain, boats, playground and trees - with strange shadows and eyes everywhere. At last, they find a feathery thing with big eyes and a scary voice.
Carl Pearce's illustrations bring drama and mystery to the adventure and the setting – a cliff top park beside a harbour.
