One of a Kind, a new book by Neil Packer

Publishing in the Walker Studio imprint, this witty, magnificently-illustrated book plays with the idea of "sorting".
The animal kingdom, modes of transport, musical instruments, art and architectural movements, cloud classification ... anything and everything can be sorted into groups! Framed by a charming narrative about a father and son, this is a book about categories; on a journey into town, a boy called Arvo explores the many ways in which we classify the world around us, to charming - and often amusing - effect. One of a Kind marks Neil Packer's debut as an author-illustrator, following his extraordinary artwork for Peter Frankopan's The Silk Roads. With a witty text and breathtaking pictures, this story deserves its title: a true original by a remarkable talent. Published in October 2020.

Small children don't much enjoy wearing an itchy cardigan, a strange dress and uncomfortable shoes and then manage to look appealingly at the camera. Somehow he manages to achieve fantastic results. Even if he is exhausted at the end of the shoot. More stock here.

At the moment, the shops are full of Harper Collins' book, The Christmas Wedding which is the latest in the series of Dilly Court novels. He's been working on those for many years and they are among the best.
