Rob Lloyd Jones built up a substantial output of picture books for Usborne across the 2000s and 2010s, covering a mix of classic fairy tales, literary adaptations, and original stories for very young readers. The earliest titles appeared in the mid-2000s, with the range running through 2018.
Many of the books in this collection draw on familiar fairy tale material, including Goldilocks, Pinocchio, Little Red Riding Hood, and The Tinder Box. Others adapt longer children’s classics for picture book audiences, including The Railway Children, The Secret Garden, and The Wizard of Oz. The “Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat, Where Have You Been?” books take the nursery rhyme format and set it in different cities, from London to Rome to Washington D.C.
Original stories like The Dinosaur Who Lost His Roar (2007) and How Big Is A Million? (2007), which uses animals to illustrate the concept of large numbers, show Jones working in a more inventive mode. Taken together, the 32 titles represent a consistent body of work aimed at early readers and pre-readers.
