About the author
Rose Impey
314 books17 followersROSE IMPEY was born, and grew up, in Northwich, Cheshire. When she first left school she worked in a bank, but soon realised that this was not for her; so she decided to go back to school and then went on to college, where she trained to be a teacher. She later taught in a Junior school in Leicester.
Rose has two grown-up daughters. While her children were small, Rose developed her interest in children's books through reviewing, bookselling, storytelling and giving talks to parents and teachers.
The Impey family have a dog called Holly, which has also become a star. In 1988 Rose was short-listed for the Smarties Children's Book Prize for 'Desperate for a Dog'. Most of her stories are based on her own experiences either as a teacher or a parent. As a family they like jokes, and this often provides Rose with the ideas for her books.
She spends a lot of time visiting schools to read her work. Her books are widely published worldwide, including the United States, Australia, France, Denmark, Germany and Spain. Rose enjoys eating, talking, swimming and reading, although not necessarily in that order!

October 17, 2012Rabbit and Teddy Tales, by Impey and Porter were my all time favourite bedtime books. The adventures are created from the ‘story bag’ where mummy or grandma find a range of characters.
The first is about rabbit who is happily dreaming of eating lettuce, turnips and carrots until cat came along, dressed up as a cat burglar and stole rabbits dream! When he tracks down cat she is very upset because the dream is making her poorly, so gives rabbit his dream back.
The second is about teddy, he wants to be a prince so dresses up, unfortunately witch needs a handsome prince for her potion and kidnaps teddy! Its then upto doll to free teddy from the witches’ tower and with help from a not so scary monster they flee the castle and return to their home in the woods.
The stories are aimed at younger children, but with the scope to choose the characters’ involved in the story, I think it would be a good chance for children to think of their own characters’ or use their own teddies’ and toys and think of adventures.
