Former Children's Laureate Browne consistently produces visually
stunning and emotionally subtle books, and this is no
exception...Tender, funny, reassuring and highly original, this is
a book to share and cherish. Browne is, quite simply, a genius
*Daily Mail*
Anthony Browne is the master of reassuring picturebooks about
anxiety
*Children's Book of the Week, The Sunday Times*
It's a lovely read, especially if you have a young child who tends
to worry about things that he or she has never experienced before.
It's a very visual book with ... lots of illustrations teeming with
details to discover with your child.
*Madhouse Family Reviews blog*
Skilfully written and illustrated ... Very reassuring and superbly
told, this story leaves you wanting more - maybe for first visits
to the dentist, first day at school, swimming lessons and so
on.
*Early Years Educator*
A new Anthony Browne book is always a treat. Browne is the sort of
author-illustrator who knows exactly how to describe the feelings a
child goes through in ordinary everyday life, then picture them
allegorically in ways that children just "get"... A fantastic
romp...This is a truly special book
