abstract = "A fantastic follow-up to HERE COME POPPY AND MAX with the same bright colours, simple, large text and fun design. Poppy and Max are imagining all the exciting jobs they could have when they grow up...scoring goals like a footballer, painting pictures like an artist, taking care of sick animals like a vet...but right now Poppy has the best job in the world...looking after Max! With its interactive text and appealing characters, this is a perfect first picture book.",

note = "The authorship and illustration of children{\textquoteright}s books provides rich scope for embedding research within practice, and for extending the innovative parameters of that practice. This book explores the child{\textquoteright}s concept of imagination and dreams for 3-5 year olds. At this stage in their development they do not yet have a sense of inhibition with regards to any future aspirations, yet they do have an emerging sense of independence and individuality. The intention here is to utilise this aspect sufficiently to produce a book which encourages children to imagine themselves in various roles and situations regardless of any social or cultural differences. The energy and expressive qualities in the artwork is paramount and is intended to stimulate the potentially expressive qualities of a child{\textquoteright}s imagination. Colourful spreads show the characters pretending to be anything from an artist to a vet to a deep sea diver. Each visualisation is rich in additional background details, providing further stimulus and talking points. This is the second Poppy and Max book in a series of three, (all published internationally), with toys accompanying the books and the publisher Shogukukan, who publishes these books in Japan, commissioning a series of stories for a Japanese children{\textquoteright}s magazine called 'Ohisama' which were published monthly from March 2002-March 2003. This followed a series of educational animal spreads called 'Who{\textquoteright}s who and the things they do' for the same magazine published through March 2001-March 2002. There are also a series of eight Poppy and Max first reader books being published in 2007 for the slightly older age group of 5-8 year olds. These are produced for children who are beginning to read for themselves and include issues and storylines which are suitably appropriate and intellectually stimulating for that particular age group.
