Lionel
The only thing bigger than Lionel the rhinoceros is his enthusiasm to join in!
Lionel loves to join in with whatever his friends are doing – playing cars, making music or baking! But his enthusiasm means he usually leaps before he looks, leading to disaster. Finally Lionel seeks out some quiet space. As he relaxes Lionel has a great idea, and this time it’s his friends who ask to join in… all aboard the world’s greatest rhinocer-raft!
Lo grew up surrounded by puppets, props and craft paraphernalia because his writer-dad and illustrator-mum created children’s TV for the BBC. At university Lo was thrown off his illustration course, but when he started working, his illustration was constantly in demand, appearing regularly in The Guardian and the Economist. Gloucestershire-based Lo's lifelong love of children’s books have now led to his unforgettable animal characters being published around the world.
