Media Reviews
Lionni's elegantly textured, simple yet sophisticated illustrations vividly create the under-the-sea world in this shimmering picture book. Mesmerising and unforgettable. * Guardian, Julia Eccleshare *
One of my all time favourite picture book creators. Must buy for anyone who wants children to be lovers of books and art. * Red Reading Hub Blog *
Magnetic language reflecting the duplicity of the text and illustrations, which are both simple and yet highly complex at the same time. * EYE *
Powerful story about working together. Raw yet sophisticated illustrations. * Picture Books Blogger, Sarah Yewman *
One of my all time favourite creators of picture books. Glorious... enchanting book. * Books for Keeps *
