Solomon Crocodile

Catherine Rayner studied illustration at Edinburgh College of Art. She fell in love with the city and still lives there with her young family and a small menagerie of creatures including Shannon the horse, Ena the cat and a goldfish called Richard, all of whom inspire her work. Catherine won the Best New Illustrator Award at the Booktrust Early Years Awards and has been awarded the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal. Catherine's books for Macmillan include the critically acclaimed Ernest and Solomon Crocodile - both of which were shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal - as well as Solomon and Mortimer, the laugh-out-loud sequel to Solomon Crocodile, and Smelly Louie.
