Anthony Edward Tudor Browne CBE (born 11 September 1946 [1]) is a British writer and illustrator of children's books, primarily picture books. Browne has written or illustrated over fifty books, and received the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 2000. [2] [3] [4] From 2009 to 2011 he was Children's Laureate. [5] [6]

The shattering effect of his father's sudden death on the 17-year-old Browne would play out for years to come in stories haunted by flawed fathers. The father in his chilling, crepuscular retelling of Hansel and Gretel is shamefully weak, dominated by the children's chain-smoking stepmother; in Piggybook he is obnoxious; in Browne's best-known work, Gorilla, he is all absence: cold and distant, glimpsed from behind as he hunches over his desk. And yet when he talks about his own childhood, Browne is full of praise for his father, whom he describes in warm, almost reverent terms. It was many years before he was prepared to recognise, then investigate, the disjunction. Print off the game sheet onto paper or card. Cut into individual cards. Read the word cards to your child and match with the pictures together. Then muddle them up and see if your child can read the word cards themselves, helping them if they need you to (by for example matching with the words in the book) and then pairing with the pictures.

"I was playing rugby for the first time with the men's team, and my parents had come to watch. My brother was playing, too; I travelled on the coach with the other men; it felt like a real coming-of-age moment. The sun shone, we won, and afterwards we drank in the bar with my parents and all these heroes I'd been watching for years. I felt I was really pleasing my dad, being the kind of son he wanted.
