Hullabazoo!

Yesterday we had a visit from an author, Lisa Hollier and illustrator, Tracey Roper.  Their book is called Hullabazoo! It is the story of a young boy, Lachlan, who goes on a trip to the zoo with his dad. Things start to turn a little crazy when Lachlan drops his hat into the water.

The illustrations are amazing with lots of detail and colour. Tracey told us that they took hundreds of photos at zoos and of their family. Then she put them on the computer like a collage. When she was happy with the final picture she painted it. She is a fantastic artist.

We also had a sneak peak at the 2nd book they are working on.  It is about a dragon under the bed. We can't wait until it is published and we can read it and look at the finished illustrations.
