"It's so good!" * Adam Buxton *
"Not Now, Bernard could be the most profound picture book Ive ever read. [Its] possibly my favourite picture book of all time. It's so powerful, it's so funny, dark - it's everything. That to me is the number one kids book of all time... It's funny to a four year old and meaningful to a 36 year old" * Ben Bailey Smith aka Doc Brown *
