REVIEW OF KETCHUP ON YOUR REINDEER “It’s a simple, playful premise, and just like Sharratt’s other books, the book presents a clever interactivity that means a reader can play with it and read at the same time. The font is nice and big and with just a few words per page it’s a great book too for little ones just starting to learn to read.” – BookTrust

Nick Sharratt

Nick Sharratt needs little introduction with books going down a storm time and time again. He has written and illustrated many books for children, and also enjoys great success illustrating books for Jacqueline Wilson and Jeremy Strong.

He was born in 1962 and trained at the St Martin’s School of Art. Inspired by 1960s pop and graphic art, his work is instantly recognisable for its bold images and punchy colours. With lots of moving tabs, flaps to lift and other interactive features, as well as exciting wordplay and cheeky humour, Nick’s books let children discover all the different ways in which books and words can work.

He lives and works in Brighton, in a studio overlooking the sea.
