He died in 2015 at the age of sixty-six.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Terry Pratchett sold his first story when he was fifteen, which earned him enough money to buy a second-hand typewriter. His first novel, a humorous fantasy entitled The Carpet People, appeared in 1971 from the publisher Colin Smythe. Terry worked for many years as a journalist and press officer, writing in his spare time and publishing a number of novels, including his first Discworld novel, The Color of Magic, in 1983. In 1987 he turned to writing full time, and has not looked back since. To date there are a total of 36 books in the Discworld series, of which four (so far) are written for children. The first of these children's books, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, won the Carnegie Medal. A non-Discworld book, Good Omens, his 1990 collaboration with Neil Gaiman, has been a longtime bestseller, and was reissued in hardcover by William Morrow in early 2006 (it is also available as a mass market paperback (Harper Torch, 2006) and trade paperback (Harper Paperbacks, 2006). Terry's latest book, Nation, a non-Discworld standalone YA novel was published in October of 2008 and was an instant New York Times and London Times bestseller. Regarded as one of the most significant contemporary English-language satirists, Pratchett has won numerous literary awards, was named an Officer of the British Empire “for services to literature” in 1998, and has received four honorary doctorates from the Universities of Warwick, Portsmouth, Bath, and Bristol. His acclaimed novels have sold more than 55 million copies (give or take a few million) and have been translated into 36 languages. Terry Pratchett lived in England with his family, and spent too much time at his word processor. Some of Terry's accolades include: The Carnegie Medal, Locus Awards, the Mythopoetic Award, ALA Notable Books for Children, ALA Best Books for Young Adults, Book Sense 76 Pick, Prometheus Award and the British Fantasy Award.

It's greatest strength is as an introduction to Discworld

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 29, 2017

Verified Purchase

I love Discworld. I was going to visit my brothers family. That includes my 7 year old nephew and 4 year old niece. Since they had never heard of Discworld, I saw my role as Visit-The-Infidel-With-Explanatory-Pamphlets. This book is not the best introduction for young children, but it is a great excuse to describe Discworld to them. My nephew fell in love with it. I spend hours describing the disc to him. He loves to read. By buying this book, I created an easy path to buying presents for him for years. My only regret is that there are not any books that transition age wise from this to the novels. The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents will be the next book I buy him, I just don't know if it will be this year or next due to his age.

A great parody

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 16, 2009

Verified Purchase

I teach Children's Literature on the college level, and I've recently become a Pratchett fan. I'm not sure if very small children would like this book, but I read it to myself, out loud, twice. Giggling madly.

Yes, it's a Discworld book, and it probably helps to have read those. But it's really a parody of children's picture books. Anyone who has had to read *Goodnight Moon* or *Are You My Mommy* over and over and over every single night would probably find this funny; anyone who has read a child's picture book and thought "hey, YEAH, why are all these books about sheep? Little Ralph here has never, ever seen a sheep, and isn't going to."

A word on the illustrations: I enjoyed these. Melvin Grant uses a somewhat realistic technique for the "real" characters--Sam Vimes, the beggars, the trolls, Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler. It's more realistic than Paul Kidby's fantasy-style illustration, but it works in contrast to the "baby book" illustrations of *Where's My Cow*, the book within the book, which uses simple outlines and a color palette reminiscent of *Pat the Bunny.*

I'm going to bring this in to my Children's Lit class next quarter.

and I enjoy it enormously

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 1, 2015

Verified Purchase

I didn't buy this book for a long time, even though I'm a huge Pratchett fan, because I wondered how much a grown woman without kids could really get out of it. But I finally got it, and I enjoy it enormously! If you've read the night watch books you've already read 90% of the dialogue in "Where's My Cow?" But presented alongside the beautiful illustrations, I felt like I was reading it for the first time. The illustrations are gorgeous and lovingly done, and clearly created by someone who loved and studied Pratchett's writing. I absolutely loved seeing characters like the patrition, foul ole Ron and Gaspode the dog, whom I've only imagined before. And every single page has multiple Easter eggs to find for anyone who's read the books. Awesome for adults and kids! And it's Librarian "ook" approved. (Would you really settle for anything less?)

I can't wait to read this to my grandson :D

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

I'm a huge Terry Pratchett fan and, having a grandson who just turned two, I figured this would be a great gift for him. Especially since his dad just happens to be in law enforcement. I didn't know exactly WHAT the book would contain but it surpassed my expectations by light years! You don't have to be a Pratchett fan or be in law enforcement to enjoy this book. It is a load of fun for the wee ones AND the adults.

Ook! Oook! OOK!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 29, 2021

No library worth mentioning, for any child of any age, should be without this book.
The characteristic sideways humor of Sir Terry Pratchett, with a particular sweetness, makes this a truly wonderful book to read, and fun to read aloud.

WASTE OF MONEY

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

I would have given this no stars if possible. PLEASE DO NOT BUY, this is not a book or anything original, it is an overly illustrated very short extract from THUD!, which is a brilliant book, buy that instead. I waited for this, excited thinking I was getting something different, instead it's just someone trying to make money off of Terry's genius. And why does Sam Vimes look exactly like Pete Postlethwaite while Young Sam looks like a freaky demon child crossed with a monkey. Don't buy it for the illustrations, especially if you like Josh Kirby, who this is nothing like. It states on the back "This is a book about reading a book which turns into a different book". It should state: "This is a very short extract from a good book to justify some bad drawings".

The bedtime book I enjoy the most

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

Whenever my daughter picks out a book that I can't face reading again, I turn to "Where's my cow?". She nearly always agrees, and I always enjoy reading it. I love the self-referential aspect, and I always point out to her that the book pictured in the book, the book that the book is about, is this book, the one that we are reading. I hope that this will expand her mind and make her think, and even though it probably won't, it does make her laugh. Anyway, I always enjoy reading the book, and that's the most important thing, no?

I bought this for a young friends child, so he is like a grandson to me. Every time i visit he comes running with this book, out of all the others, so i can read it to him. We love doing the noises together, and the drawings are so much fun, always something new to discover.

Pratchet Fans, teach your kids (grand-kids) the wonders of Diskworld.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

Anyone who's a fan of Diskworld, especially Sam Vimes, will love this book. It is a bedtime story filled with favourite characters that your bairns won't get to know for years. Hardback, thick glossy pages with lovely illustrations, nicely layed out with large font. Plenty to discuss with the wee 'ain on every page.

Not what I was looking for.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

I was a bit disappointed by this - I'd hoped it was the story book used in "Thud" by Terry Pratchett, but instead it's just a section of Thud with odd illustrations. No use for reading to a child, and the child featured in the pictures looks like a weird little old man.
