About the Author

Sam Taplin grew up in a beautiful valley in Yorkshire, where he dreamed of being a writer, and after three years reading other people's books at university he started writing his own for Usborne. He's been doing it ever since. When he's not writing about lonely rabbits or inquisitive bears, he likes doing card tricks, writing songs and playing long games of chess by the fire.

Reviews

What’s not to like about magic painting? Just dip the paintbrush (supplied) into water and paint over the pages to transform black and white drawings into colourful pictures that bring the jungle to life. Don’t forget to use the flap at the back of the book to save the other pages getting wet if your child gets a bit water-happy.
