If you have a child of pre-school or early school age it's likely you would have at least heard of Julia Donaldson, who, in her partnership with the illustrator Axel Scheffler has created several best-selling books for young children, including the most popular Gruffalo which spawned a true cult. ''Magic Paintbrush'' is also a Julia Donaldson's book, and it's also written in rhyme as most of her others, but it's not illustrated by Axel Scheffler and it's a different kind of book.

|comment= I went to see Julia Donaldson with my daughter's class last year and she read this book using a male teacher and children as characters out of the book. It really brought this book to life and I just love it and share it with all the nurseries I work in now.
