Comment: The notability claim here is his authorship of a series of books, but the books themselves have not been shown to be notable. I'm declining because this shouldn't be sitting in the queue for review when it clearly doesn't meet the criteria to be published to mainspace. I considered rejecting it outright (i.e., with no option to resubmit) because it seems unlikely that appropriate sources exist, given that some effort has been made to locate them. But enough books have one review, that it seems plausible a few of them would have two for WP:NBOOK. Do not re-submit until you're highly confident that you have located 2+ WP:RELIABLE, independent published reviews for multiple of these books. Sources like the Guardian, Publishers Weekly, School Library Journal, etc, are good. Store listings, blogs, Goodreads, YouTube, etc, do not qualify. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 04:12, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
Comment: The provided sources about Linnet aren't very high quality, and the various awards aren't clearly notable either. But it's possible that Linnet is notable per WP:NAUTHOR if multiple of his books pass WP:NBOOK. I suggest adding book reviews as citations for each of the listed works; each book with 2+ reviews is an NBOOK pass. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 05:04, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
Comment: I have added the template to allow for resubmission, did a little work on it but this still needs more work with the prose and sourcing before it should be resubmitted. It appears some content was copied from Sue Hendra, however most of those sources made no mention on Linnet so I removed it. Please only cite sources to which you have access and be sure the source supports the content. S0091 (talk) 18:33, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Biography
[edit]Paul Linnet is an award-winning children's author and illustrator from Brighton,[1] and is co-author with Sue Hendra of many books including Barry the Fish With Fingers, The Sunday Times best seller Supertato: Books Are Rubbish!.[2] , the ground breaking book Egg [3], and the entire series of best-selling Supertato books. [4] the first of which has sold over a million copies. [5]
Work
[edit]Linnet's current publishing deal is with Simon and Schuster.[1] No-Bot, the Robot With No Bottom won the Picture Book Award in the 2014 Oxfordshire Book Awards.
Alongside Sue Hendra Linnet wrote a book for 2016's World Book Day titled Supertato: Hap-Pea Ever After for pre-school children and a handmade book in 2023 titled The Story of a Story for the British Library[6]
In 2016, his best selling book I Need A Wee won the Scholastic Corporation Laugh Out Loud Award for Best Picture Book[7].
The Supertato books[8] have regularly topped the children's book charts including in 2020[9], 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, and Mean Green Time Machine was shortlisted for a British Book Award in Children's Book of the Year 2023.[10] The Guardian described Supertato as "an absolute juggernaut of a book, beloved by kids to the point of hysteria."[11] Linnet and Hendra's Supertato discovered a whole new audience when Tom Hiddleston read one of their books on CBeebies Bedtime Stories[12][13]
In 2022 Supertato was turned into a hit series for CBeebies on BBC. In late 2023, a range of Supertato merchandise for A/W 2024 was announced via BBC[14]
In February 2024, the latest Supertato book Eviltato vs Superpea went straight to number one in the Amazon children's book charts[15] and reviews proved the series shows no sign of slowing down.[16]
Linnet is a regular guest at many prestigious International literary festivals, including Edinburgh International Book Festival[17] and the International Literature Festival Dublin[18] [19]
In March 2024, to mark the 10th anniversary of the Supertato books, it was announced that a special edition logo and book would be released, and that The Supertato character would embark on a bookshop tour, with appearances from Sue Hendra and Linnet, including at literary festivals such as Glasgow’s Wee Write, Dublin ILFD, Hay, Barnes, Edinburgh, Bath and Cheltenham.[20]
