Reviews

Insightful and humane, it packed so much emotion and understanding into so few pages . . . Beautifully written

—— Joy Court

Everyone - young or old - should read Wonder. The Julian Chapter adds so much more to the Wonder story. It reminds us of the importance of compassion in everyday life

—— Rich Preston , BBC Radio 4

A genius idea which will be a treat for fans of Wonder

—— Sun

For sheer illustrative wit, Anthony Browne is unsurpassed

—— The Times

Delightfully simple but visually impish

—— Literary Review

Anthony Browne is a sublime master of the visual pun

—— Independent on Sunday

The Magritte of the pre-schoolers, Browne's illustrations are among the most distinctive and surreal of any children's artist. A beautiful tribute to a very special dad in a dressing gown

—— The Scotsman

A celebration of all things "dad" from the quirky to the moving

—— Aberdeen Evening Express

It's humorous and charming. Dads and kids alike will love it

—— Woman’s Own
