Paparazzi flock to the farm, yet Marjorie's fellow heifers suspect the "crafty chickens." Readers have reason to believe the cows when "a small, brown, feathery bundle" emerges that is, until the hatchling says, "Moooo!" Cutbill (the Albie books) provides a silly surprise with this punch line, the high point in a studiously whimsical book. The Holstein finds a small black-and-white spotted egg in her stall and proudly takes credit for it.
In this barnyard trifle, Marjorie the cow feels low because she "can't ride bicycles and do handstands like the other cows." Her pals the chickens put their heads together, and a miracle occurs. He now lives and works in Cornwall with his wife and two young children. He has illustrated numerous books for children including Whiff by Ian Whybrow. He worked as both a postman and a scientific officer. Russell Ayto had a varied career before turning his attention to children’s book illustration.
Andy lives in London with his wife, son and daughter. In conjuction with Cosgrove Hall Films, Andy created and developed the award-winning animated television series, Albie, for CITV. After several years writing television commercials, he started originating new concepts in children’s animation and books.
He read Art at university and then did post-graduate studies in Art Direction. “Children will love the sheer craziness of this story” Alison Green for Child EducationĪndy Cutbill was born near London in 1972. “A wonderfully madcap story with wacky illustrations” Nursery World "A charming, comical tale" Starred Editor's Choice, Junior But one morning, Marjorie is astonished to discover something extraordinary…īut does the baby inside the egg really belong to Marjorie? Emotions run high in the farmyard as everyone waits to find out… She can’t ride bicycles or do cartwheels like the other cows. Marjorie the cow doesn’t feel very special. A hilarious farmyard story about having the courage of one’s convictions, even when others doubt you, from the creator of 'Albie', Andy Cutbill, and the award-winning illustrator, Russell Ayto.
