Quentin Blake has been drawing ever since he can remember. He taught illustration for over twenty years at the Royal College of Art, of which he is an honorary professor. He has won many prizes, including the Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration, the Eleanor Farjeon Award and the Kate Greenaway Medal, and in 1999 he was appointed the first Children’s Laureate. In the 2013 New Year’s Honours List he was knighted for services to illustration. The energy and mischievous humour of Quentin Blake’s art, as well as its compassionate social awareness, are evident in his award-winning children’s picture book Clown (1995). I would like you to create a time capsule to remember this extraordinary time we are living in now.

Remember to ask your grownup to ask you questions about your book.Un magico libro illustrato dal grande illustratore per l’infanzia Quentin Blake per mostrarci un’altra divertente avventura di Mrs Armitage. Read and choose favourite recipes, discover interesting facts and write question-and-answer information texts about food. Read and write questions and statements and produce recipes. Without dialogue, it has the purity of a silent film, creating movement and telling its delightful story entirely through pictures. After being thrown out with other toys, a clown doll flips itself out of a trashcan, joins a fancy dress parade, is chased by a dog, and is then thrown accidentally into a poor high-rise apartment. There his antics help to quiet a crying child, and he helps the harassed babysitter to tidy the apartment. Then they all go out into the city, against a vivid red sky and grey city buildings, and retrieve the others. By the time the child’s mother comes home, the clown has become a loved toy again. Characteristically, the book also conveys an underlying moral theme, about rejection and connectedness.

It is also be used across the curriculum. For example, in Design and Technology it could be used as a hook for a lesson where children would be exploring functional design choices. In Mrs Armitage on wheels, assistiamo al genio della protagonista che, progressivamente, modifica la sua bici per renderla adatta ai suoi viaggi e alle sue esigenze. Il lettore non può che assistere divertito, osservando una nuova bici prendere vita, che assume sembianze sempre più creative, fino ad arrivare ad un finale inaspettato.Topics: problem-solving; resilience; women in STEM; positive images of older people; transport; quest stories You could bury it in a hole in your garden – but it must be in a container that will not biodegrade - and you will have to mark the spot somehow! Enjoy You Can’t Take an Elephant on the Bus. Relish the illustrations and amusing scenarios.
