Media Reviews
As morality tales go, this is definitely one of the best . . .the book si great for adults with its cleverly hidden message and the illustration is indeed fantastic. * South Wales Argus *
A very simple but interesting story that highlights the issue of how qw share the world's resources in a way kids can understand. * NI4Kids *
An imaginative introduction to the rich poor divide, with dream-like illustrations to bring the satire alive. * Junior *
This book is a demonstration of the sheer virtuosity of Riddell's craft. Few other artists could describe the features of a desperate bear with such perfection... * Books for Keeps *
