Before Tom Gates made her famous, Liz Pichon was already an established picture book author and illustrator. Her earliest titles, like Hot Dogs and Cool Cats (1996), showed off the bold, playful art style that would later define her career. Over the years, she built up a collection of 21 picture books aimed at very young readers.

Many of these books are comic retellings of well-known stories. The Three Horrid Little Pigs, Red Riding Hood and the Sweet Little Wolf, and The Three Billy Goats Fluff all take familiar fairy tales and flip them for laughs. Other titles like Bored Bill and My Big Brother Boris deal with everyday childhood experiences through bright, expressive illustrations.
