Mini Grey studied at Brighton College of Art with John Vernon Lord. She now teaches part-time in Oxford. Egg Drop is her first book for children.
This book is in the following series:
"Mini Grey is a consistently brilliant writer and illustrator, brimming with ideas and invention, and this is another triumph." The Daily Telegraph "Mini Grey's comic-strip story, with its busy frames and witty filmic references, celebrates true friendship, dirt and all." The Guardian "Another brilliant picture book from Mini Grey, whose sense of humour and adventure, love of the language of the toy box and understanding of childhood fantasy is matched by her pictorial invention and a skill at characterisation that can make even a scrubbing brush appealing...Dare I say it, this is even better than Traction Man is Here." Books for Keeps "I can't recommend Traction Man Meets Turbo Dog highly enough. It would be fabulous to share with a three year-old, but a six or seven year-old newly confident reader would love it too. A witty and surreal picture book that's suitable for both reading aloud and first attempts at reading alone. It's slightly subversive in a Toy Story way, but is absolutely and utterly British. Don't miss it." thebookbag.co.uk "This is a brilliant and playful parody of an action-hero drama by quirky writer Mini Grey" Junior
