I can safely say that Jeffers' work makes up a large selection of my all time favourite illustrations ever. Utterly wonderful.

Read 'The Incredible Book Eating Boy'. My two daughters love it as do I. There's even a die-cut bite shape out of the back cover. Wonderful.

Forthcoming iPad picture book of Oliver Jeffers’ Heart and the Bottle, read by Helena Bonham Carter.

Oliver’s characters and scenes are brought to life through detailed and interactive animations that allow young readers to follow along with the heart‐rending story while discovering surprises within the illustrations. Users can sprout flowers with a touch of a fingertip, turn a quiet scene into a flurry of snow by giving the device a shake, draw in the sand, turn day to night with the swipe of a finger, etc.
