Chris Garbutt was commissioned by the Usborne Foundation to create character designs and backgrounds for a new online interactive educational game for children. Teach Your Monster to Read: First Steps helps children master the first stages of reading by using synthetic phonics. Chris designed LOADS of monsters so the children can choose their own monster avatar to explore the magical world, meet the island kings and collect letters to win prizes.
