Media Reviews
Jeanne Willis' lyrical text and Tony Ross' almost ghostly pastel illustrations give this an entrancing, night-time feel * Angels & Urchins *
Great for reading aloud...Ross's illustrative style is the perfect match for Willis's imaginative storytelling * Bookbag *
The poetic simplicity of the prose, with its built-in repetitions and wordplay is well matched in painterly illustrations by Tony Ross * Irish Times *
A gentle poetic story accompanied by atmospheric illustrations, which held the attention of a couple of under threes. * The School Librarian *
Beautifully crafted . . . memorable and highly desirable. 5 stars. * Books for Keeps *
