The Kate Greenaway shadowing scheme, "Shadow 2001" involves thousands of schoolchildren across Britain. While the librarians who make up the Greenaway judging panel were making their decision, British kids all over the country made their own choice. Crispin The Pig Who Had It All was their choice for winner.
"...a masterful morality tale for modern times...a withering commentary on materialism." "A wonderful satire on childhood consumerism." "...a gorgeous, non-preachy morality tale for kids who have everything." "Dewan evades charges of smug cliches with his wonderful illustrations which have a cosy, old-fashioned fireside glow to them, spiked with surrealism: sort of Margaret Tempest meets Salvador Dali." "The moral is satisfyingly seasonal, and if it souds unbearably earnest, let me promise you that that's one thing Dewan is never likely to be." |
