A popular animated TV adaptation of these books was launched in 2011 with 2 major television animated series of 52 episodes each produced by Nick Jr. and BAFTA award winning, King Rollo Films. The 104 episodes are shown all over the world including America and Great Britain.
Some of Lara Jones' accolades:

> "Swap the Scene Poppy Cat"was the Bronze Award winner of the Practical Parenting Award in 2006
> "Good Night, Poppy Cat" was acclaimed as one of the best ten books for the under fives in the Independent, by Boyd Tonkin.
> "Good Night, Poppy Cat"was included in Junior magazine's top 100 books of all time.
> "Poppy Cat's First Word Book" was highly praised by Pre-School magazine, for containing over 50 words which toddlers should learn.
Lara illustrated numerous other books, including her own picture books, "I Love Hugs" and "I Love My Potty".
Other books illustrated by Jones include "Mermaid Poems" (Clare Bevan), Mermaid Stories, "Fairy Poems" and "Fairy Stories" (all published by MacMillan) as well as "Babies Can" by Ian Whybrow and "Pip and the Edge of Heaven" by Elizabeth Liddle (Lion, 2002). Her final book was "I Want a Mini Tiger" written by Joyce Dunbar and published by Macmillan Books.
Lara was born in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, the eldest of 3 children, born to 2 authors, Ivan Jones , and Mal Lewis Jones . Lara spent her childhood in Shropshire, with her younger brother, Levin (now a professional violinist and teacher), her sister, Jessie, (now an artist, poet and singer-songwriter), and many adored, family pets. Lara was a committed vegetarian from the age of five, preferring not to endorse any sort of cruelty to living things. She attended local schools,
From a very early age, she was an independent, sensitive and visual thinker, and started drawing her own books when she was just six years old! Eventually she went on to study fine art at Canterbury College of Art and then Cheltenham College, where her large, vivid paintings bore testament to a childhood lovingly observed, and where she also won a travel bursary to Mexico.
Lara then worked for the Royal Academy and then the Inkshed Artists' Agency, before branching out as an independent author.
It was in Mexico, that she met and fell in love with a fellow artist, Shaun Clarke, and they lived in Cheltenham, and London, returning to Shropshire where they bought a farmhouse, settled, and grew their family to include 2 daughters, India and Etienne.
Despite her success, she remained modest, preferring to lead a simple family life in the countryside.
In 2012 a major award was set up in her name by Macmillan Children's books, called The Lara Jones Illustration Award, with a prize of £500 for the best illustration for a children's book by a new illustrator.
