Clever and eye-catching...With its satisfying narrative arc and imaginative wordplay, this picture book is pretty cool. -- The Horn Book
This picture-book compendium of words with double oo's finds visual fun in the letters' shapes...made with hand-cut stencils and printing techniques, burst with playful energy...the scenes create an appealing visual game that will encourage kids to think about word patterns and, perhaps, draw their own spin-offs. -- Publishers Weekly
The ingenious story line becomes clear after just a few pages. ...Laid out on expansive light backgrounds, the artwork invites young readers to look and look again. Playful fun, this engaging read-aloud will be welcome in most collections. -- School Library Journal

A picture book that takes as its text more than 30 words containing two consecutive Os sounds like breezy entertainment, but Fiona Woodcock's art is worth a close inspection. ...Look is a toothsome and groovy book. Understood? -- Shelf Awareness (starred review)

Author Bio

Fiona Woodcock knew from a very early age that she wanted to grow up and make art for a living. Since graduating from the Glasgow School of Art in Scotland, she has been living in London and working on animated films, commercials, and other illustration projects. Her pictures have a paper-based handmade origin, incorporating drawings made with children's BLO pens, hand-cut stencils, and printing techniques. Her debut picture book, Hiding Heidi, was nominated for the Kate Greenaway Award in 2017. A pair of celebratory New Year's 2003 glasses served as the original inspiration for Look, since the double numbers transformed into double letters in her doodles. And once Fiona discovered that her own last name, Woodcock, contains a double OO, she was hooked! www.fionawoodcock.com Fiona Woodcock knew from a very early age that she wanted to grow up and make art for a living.
