Media Reviews
This is a lovely book and David Melling's illustrations are excellent. writeaway.org It was just great fun to think up such magical creatures, and wonderful to read about them in the book. It was BRILLIANT. Alice Cauldwell, age 6 Usually we read a book in class but this time we used our imagination to make up our own story with David Melling. I will never forget the experience. Alice Onion, age 6 'A once in a lifetime, magical journey that left each of us believing we are creative [or in our own creativity] and to follow the dream' Forever in David's debt,' Anne Wattam, Teacher, Class 3. A warm tale of friendship... Junior Bears and crocodiles - usually the villains of the piece - are, in this sweet story, just two lost souls looking for a friend. ... I wasn't surprised to learn that this book had been written in collaboration with a class of school children - there is a certain naive stream-of-consciousness feel to the plot that only adds to its appeal. Carousel Endearing and poignant tale enhanced by appealing illustrations. Bournemouth Daily Echo Extremely inventive. School Librarian
