Reviews

My favourite books for very young children are Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak and Not Now Bernard by David McKee. -- Michael Rosen
Not Now Bernard is THE book of our times * Frank Cottrell-Boyce *

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 *
