Media Reviews
Vivid colours and inimitable artwork * The Bookseller *
The illustrations certainly are wonderful. Some are artistic, swirls of colour or dramatic silhouette images. Others are more cartoon-ish, people with funny expressions and cute animals, or imaginative takes on the story. * www.thebookbag.co.uk *
