What are those noctural noises noticed by residents of the Outermost West? Let's talk with Dame Margery Flough:



Watch Reeve & McIntyre Investigate, part 1, here...

Check out these lovely drawings of characters from Grumpycorn, created by children at St Aubyn's Library in East London! (You can get the drawing guides free from my website here.)

Here's my riff on today's StudioTeaBreak #PortraitChallenge, Australian artist Hilda Rix Nicholas's 1917 self portrait. (See her original version here.)

Is there any truth behind the legend of the Roly Poly Flying Pony? Reeve & McIntyre Investigate - and meet an eyewitness with a chilling tale to tell!



Are you anywhere near London next Saturday? We're doing two events! A big morning party at Daunt Books Marylebone (details here - free, but you need to book!) and a smaller signing at Muswell Hill Children's Bookshop (free, details here!) All ages welcome: bring all the kids, or you don't even need to have a child in tow if you just like reading our books yourself. :)





As ever, keep an eye on my Events page to discover if I'm doing any events in your area!

Last week Reeve & McIntyre were in the Hebrides for Islay Book Festival!



...In fact, all the Reeve family and most of the McIntyres were there, too! Highlights include my dad getting his beloved kippers for breakfast, and Glasgow Auntie giving our guesthouse hens a cuddle.

Today's our official Roly-Poly Publication Day! You can find the second book in our series, Kevin's Great Escape, at all good UK bookshops, and the paperback version of the first book, The Legend of Kevin, also comes out today!




Here are some glimpses of other people's crafted Kevins, including this one on my studio shelf, by Andrea Stewart:



Another crocheted Kevin in his nest, by Alice Brewer:



And of course, the big plushie Kevin who's been travelling with us, created by Chloe Applin! (Photo tweeted today by @Gardners)



Next Saturday is a big London Reeve & McIntyre day - come join us if you're anywhere nearby! We'll be doing a big family event at 10am at Daunt Books Marylebone; it's free, but you need to book tickets here.




And we'll be doing a slightly smaller signing session at Muswell Hill Children's Bookshop at 2:30, but hopefully that will involve some drawing, too! (Details on their website.)
