Media Reviews

It's no surprise Judith's work is still popular. It owes nothing to the vagaries of style or fashion. Her warmth and humanity are timeless. Michael Foreman

`A modern classic.' The Independent.

`This book has enduring charm and young children will delight in the preposterous notion of a tiger creating mayhem in the house.' Junior Magazine

Praise for `Mog the Forgetful Cat':

`Grandparents are likely to get as much fun out of seeing it again as the new generation of fans just learning to read!' Choice Magazine

Praise for Goodbye Mog:

`Kerr's warmth, humour and honesty make this an engaging introduction to a difficult topic.' Financial Times

`A supremely sensitive story.' The Times

Praise for `One Night in the Zoo':
