Reviews

. . . brilliantly structured so that it holds the interest when read aloud rather as a good joke must before arriving at its punchline . . . Nick Sharratt's bright, simple pictures look almost as though an inspired child had produced them - and that may well be why children respond to them so warmly * Observer *
