Media Reviews
Joyously illustrated, this rhyming story is a delight. -- Sally Morris * Daily Mail *
Ross Collins' striking illustrations combine a Winnie-the-Pooh cuddle factor with a dark imagination reminiscent of Tenniel's drawings for Alice. * TES *
Tom MacRae is such a talented and sensitive writer. I love this book. I only wish he'd written it thirty years earlier then I could have loved it as a child. -- Matthew Cain * Culture Editor, Channel 4 News *
A great story for toddlers and young school children . . . about the potential pitfalls of an over-active imagination. * The Bookbag *
Great fun. * Angels & Urchins *
