All through October, Alphabet Soup is celebrating turning three. We have heaps of writers and illustrators stopping by to answer THREE QUICK QUESTIONS and today’s visitor is Mark Wilson, author and illustrator of many books, including Ben and Gracie’s Art Adventure and The Little Wooden Horse.
1. Where do you like to write/do your artwork?
At the beach or around the coast somewhere. I love rock pools and rocky headlands.
2. Can you name a book you’d recommend to our readers?
The Mr. Badger series, by Leigh Hobbs. The most brilliant little pen and ink drawing on page after page!

3. Can you offer a word or phrase that kids could use for inspiration if they have writer’s or illustrator’s block?
Two words … Stay cool.
Find out more about Mark’s books and illustrations on his website!
