Trade Review
"Keeping's illustrations are amongst the most powerful images ever to have appeared in children's literature." * Books for Keeps *
"The striking quality of these classic poems is such that they still offer excitement and intensity for today's young readers with Keeping's unique interpretation providing a marvellous way into the poetry." * Dave Chant, Carousel *
"If you study this poem in KS2, take the opportunity to show pupils the picture book The Highway Rat by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler - they will enjoy their newly informed understanding of the inspiration behind an old favourite picture book!" * Books for Topics *
