Farewell Michael, hello Anthony

I've already discussed why I think Michael Rosen is a genius of a children's author. He steps down as Children's Laureate today, and has written about his experiences in the Guardian.

The new laureate is Anthony Browne, author and artist of children's classic Gorilla and the lovely I Like Books, among others. I hope his two years are as successful as Michael Rosen's at getting children excited about reading.
