Pablo the Artist
Regular price
€10.99
Pablo is having trouble with his contribution to his art group's painting exhibition. Nothing seems to be right. His concerned fellow-artists suggest perhaps he would have better joy with a landscape, so he sets off into the country to try to capture a perfect view. By lunch time, although he has done his best, he is not satisfied, so he decides to rest for a bit before continuing. While he is asleep, he dreams that the local animals gradually congregate, and add their own idiosyncratic perceptions to the wet art. Bird adds a bluer sky, Sheep adds a brighter green grass, and Mr Wolf groups all of them together to add focus... When Pablo wakes up he knows just what to do to make his painting right!
Satoshi Kitamura was born in Tokyo and worked in advertising there before moving to London in 1980. He won the Mother Goose Award for Angry Arthur and he is now one of the most distinguished picture book illustrators. His book Sheep in Wolves' Clothing was adapted into an animated series by HIT Entertainment (who would later acquire Pingu, Fireman Sam and Thomas & Friends) that was animated by Grand Slamm Children's Films (who had also worked with HIT to animate Kipper, Percy the Park Keeper and Angelina Ballerina for CITV) and screened on CBBC for two seasons, starring Starred Absolutely Fabulous actress, Julia Sawalha, and also sold to overseas markets, including Australia. Satoshi now lives in Japan.
