Scratchy line, exaggerated expressions and unruly characters make Tony Ross one of the most recognisable illustrators in British children’s books. He created the Little Princess picture books, beginning with I Want My Potty!, in which a determined young royal turns everyday childhood frustrations into comic battles of will. Ross is also the illustrator of Francesca Simon’s Horrid Henry books, giving Henry, Perfect Peter and their families a deliberately scratchy, energetic visual identity. Other work includes illustrations for David Walliams, Roald Dahl editions and many standalone picture books. His drawings are loose, exaggerated and immediately readable, making facial expression and body language part of the joke. For marketplace browsing, the closest shelf links are Ross comic picture books, early readers and classic British children’s illustration. Read more Less
