Mini Monsters, Big Style

Pintachan brings spooky charm and retro flair to Elvira’s First Book of Monsters, an officially licensed children’s board book.

Written by Elvira (Mistress of the Dark), Pintachan was entrusted with creating engaging, playful visuals to introduce classic horror icons; vampires, zombies, witches, ghosts, aliens and more, to young readers and enduring fans alike.

As an officially licensed early-concept board book featuring glow-in-the-dark highlights on the cover, the project demanded a tone that balanced creepy fun with youthful accessibility.

Pintachan infused each whimsical monster with colourful character, resulting in a visually lively and mischievously charming book that delights audiences with its style, humour, and just the right touch of spookiness.

DOTTY SUTTON RETURNS WITH THE NOTWITCHES: PRISON BREAK!

Dotty Sutton conjures up a riot of mischief in The Notwitches: Prison Break, the uproarious second instalment of Gary Panton’s middle-grade series from Chicken House Books.

Melanda Notwitch is back and this time she’s setting out to break herself in to prison in order to break her parents out. Dotty’s whimsical black-and-white artwork captures every absurd moment beautifully - from goblin roommates who hate mornings to nearly-talking cats. The result? A gloriously absurd romp bursting with heart, humour, and visual mischief.

“Gary has done it again. A new cast of fabulously silly characters. I had just as much fun as book 1 bringing these hilarious villains to life… I can't wait for kids to meet the Governess and have a good giggle!” — Dotty Sutton.

From the wonderful cover to the final vignette, The Notwitches: Prison Break is brought joyfully to life by Dotty's fun-filled imagery.
