An elegant book... The illustrations are unsentimental and graceful and the story survives rereading. The last line makes my son smile each time he reads it. The Observer; A delight... It tackles the subject of imaginary friends with delicacy and respect... The twist at the end is both satisfying and magical. A book to be treasured. Junior Education; Sunlight shines into all the pictures, creating a feeling that life is good and full of possibilities. The Daily Telegraph; As always, James has something to say to parents as well as children. Time Out
