Ian Fleming - famous across the globe for creating James Bond - loved cars. And the faster the car, the better. It was this love that inspired him to write his only children's book - CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG: THE MAGICAL CAR - about a car that could fly. Fast. Steve Antony is a graduate of the MA Children's Book Illustration at Anglia Ruskin University. In Betty Goes Bananas, his first picture book, Steve has used a combination of pencil and graphite drawings, banana paper and colour to create a truly hilarious picture book that parents and children will adore. Peter Bently has written lots of fiction for young children and especially enjoys writing about animals.
