Funny Bums, Freaky Beaks window display by Sarah Edmonds
Illustrator Sarah Edmonds visited Bags of Books recently. It was lovely to finally meet her. She expertly painted our front window with animals from her latest book Funny Bums, Freaky Beaks, and Other Incredible Creature Features. So now our window features a toucan, an elephant, a star-nosed mole, a pelican, and a baboon’s bottom!
This is our first-ever Non-Fiction window, and it celebrates the paperback publication of the book, written by Alex Morss and Sean Taylor, and illustrated by Sarah Edmonds.
About the book.
Funny Bums, Freaky Beaks is a delightful compendium of all the most unusual and unexpected features in the animal kingdom, from puzzling toes to weird ears, and all the other body parts in between!
We love this book! Sarah’s beautiful realistic illustrations of unusual animals are amazing. Each page is full of the most fascinating information about various animal features. At the back of the book a ‘Find Out More’ page gives information on conservation charities and organisations, which is perfect for further exploration.
Some reviews of the book:
’A fascinating introduction to the diversity of life on earth … This compendium intrigues and delights the reader. It celebrates evolution and creates a feeling of awe and wonder at the variety of the natural world. The book informs and inspires and can be dipped into again and again. Highly recommended for children aged 6+’ – The English Association
‘The child-appeal of Funny Bums, Freaky Beaks and Other Incredible Creature Features isn’t limited to the title’ The Guardian
So if you love our window as much as we do, you can buy Funny Bums, Freaky Beaks here. Or visit us and find it in our non-fiction room.
As well as illustrating for books museums and galleries Sarah sells her own designs of nature inspired and pun-themed prints stationery t-shirts and homeware – you can find her website here
