About the Author
Whatmore, Candice: - "

Candice grew up in a small village in Worcestershire and has always loved drawing. She enjoyed writing poems at school - mainly because the teacher always wanted them to be illustrated too, and that was the best bit!
Candice has worked at Usborne for many years, creating all kinds of different books - but her favourite has to be a sticker book. If it's a spooky sticker book, then even better. When she's not scribbling away or writing silly stories, she likes eating chocolate, swimming and listening to funny podcasts on the train.

"Robson, Kirsteen: - Kirsteen Robson joined Usborne in 1997 with a background in music, education, and Christian publishing. She has written and edited over 300 Usborne titles, from dictionaries and encyclopedias to activity books with flaps, stickers and sounds. She loves the challenge of writing about anything from aardvarks to zombies.
