Reviews

"One of our cleverest writer-illustrators." -- Toby Clements * Telegraph Children's Books of the Year 2010 *

"Fantastic monster names and a plucky heroine make this a real winner of a tale!" * Tbk Magazine, Book of the Month *
"Fardell is an expert at adapting comic book techniques to the picture book...appeal from infants to teens." -- Clive Barnes * Books For Keeps *
"Inventive and useful at different levels. Great to read at story times with noises, or one-to-one, scrutinising the illustrations." * Peters Bookselling Services *
