Anthony Browne is the master of reassuring picturebooks about anxiety -- Nicolette Jones * 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 * Read it, Daddy blog *
