The Wonder of Fiona Woodcock’s Picture Books

Fats here.

I discovered Fiona Woodcock’s Hello through Book Riot and could not wait to get my hands on it. I got even more excited when I was able to find a copy of her other book, Look. Both books feature a girl and her younger brother, and all the adventures they have together.

If you enjoy books that celebrate wordplay, you would love these books that were written and illustrated by London-based author-illustrator, Fiona Woodcock. The magic lies in Woodcock’s ability to tell a story using only one word per page. Each word contains the same letter pair that is used throughout the book. Brilliant and charming!
