In pics: Ricky meets new Children's Laureate

Anthony Browne has been picked as the new Children's Laureate, so Ricky went to meet him to find out more about the best-selling author and illustrator.

Anthony's probably best-known for his use of gorillas in his work, including his breakthrough book Gorilla.

So can you guess what he's drawing here?

Every two years an author is picked to be the Children's Laureate in recognition of their work and to promote the importance of good books to get children to read.

Antony's written more than 40 books over the past 33 years, including Gorilla, Zoo and Willy the Wimp.

Now, until 2011, he'll be doing all he can to encourage more of you to get stuck into a good book - with or without gorillas.
