About The Author

Growing up on the Wirral and in Germany, Anna wrote plays about talking animals, and stories about naughty children, and drew on every available surface. After school, she did an Art Foundation course, then a degree in German Literature & Philosophy at Oxford University. In 1998 she found her perfect job at Usborne in London, writing about everything from curious penguins to trips to the Moon.

The question 'How High is the Sky?,' will be familiar to anyone who spends a lot of time with young children. How is such a question best answered? This picture book makes a good attempt by telling the story of Pipkin the penguin's exhilarating fantasy journey 'up into the blue'. The plentiful, repetitive dialogue helps keep up the pace and the pictures have great appeal, not least because the faces of the animals show their feelings so well. The splendid 'very tall poster', takes young learners further into the world of facts with some quality information.

Other text

How High is the Sky… is about a young penguin who, like many toddlers, is brimming with big questions… it struck me as much more than a story but a good introduction to the unexpected rewards of questioning, experimenting and discovery.
