Trade Review
"The text has me chuckling every time and the illustrations by Quentin Blake are the perfect accompaniment." * Parents In Touch *
"Rather odd premise for a children's picture book, but somehow it manages to work . . . I like it better each time I read it!" * TheBookbag.co.uk *
"A charming new book aimed at young children featuring the world famously brilliant illustrations of Quentin Blake." * Bury Free Press *
"John Yeoman and Quentin Blake are names on a book to guarantee something extra special and The Heron and the Crane is just that." * The School Librarian *
"There is an appeal (and certainly some moxie) to swapping the expected happy ending for this more ruminative approach." * Booklist, USA *
