Media Reviews
In this charming tale told from the biscuit's point of view, Mini Grey creates a hugely satisfying night-world where fear can be seen off and a biscuit can change its chances in life * Guardian *
Enjoyable as much for the witty innocence of the pictures as the barking-mad originality of the prose * Independent *
Mini Grey, one of the brightest stars on the picture-book scene, seems to be incapable of producing a dull word or picture . . . Grey's text is beautifully matched by her clever visual jokes and inventive changes of perspective * Financial Times *
Visually scrumptious, a flavoursome mix of wit and skill * The Sunday Times *
A star turn * Observer *
