Jenny Broom (Author)
Author JENNY BROOM studied at the Slade before becoming a writer
and editor of children's books. Her natural history title Animalium
was awarded Children's Book of the Year by the Sunday Times, and
shortlisted for the National Book Awards and Blue Peter Award. She
lives and works in London.
Katie Scott (Illustrator)
Katie Scott graduated from University of Brighton in 2011. Her work
draws influences from traditional medical and botanical
illustration, both in aesthetic and subject matter. Her work plays
with the ideas of scientific uncertainty and speculation,
fabricating the inner and outer workings of the world. Her
illustrations depict a familiar yet fantasy vision of plants,
humans and minerals.
A rich , informative and truly wonderful cabinet of curiosities is
beautifully displayed in this imaginative and covetous book.

Animalium (Welcome to the Museum) grants admittance to your very
own private, virtual museum. 'Curator' Jenny Broom (who studied
fine art at the Slade), has created a truly unique concept, whereby
you can pore over each 'room' and 'exhibit' at your leisure. With
fascinating facts and beautiful illustrations by Katie Scott,
Animalium is a must for any child with a love for the animal
kingdom.
*Mumsnet.com*
A glorious book featuring page after page of extraordinary
creatures. Fish, invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, birds and
mammals are exquisitely drawn complete with Latin names and
fascinating facts. This is a book Charles Darwin would have
treasured.
*The Guardian*
The most beautiful book of the year is Animalium (Big Picture
Press, £20), a big illustrated museum of creatures "curated" by
Katie Scott and Jennie Broom. One for browsing and wondering
at.
*The Evening Standard*
"Stunning illustrations of 160 animals in a virtual museum. Kids
over five will love this, as will the grown-ups!"
*Prima magazine*
