Jon Katz understands dogs as few others do, intuitively and unburdened by sentimentality. His keen insights cut to the heart of the human-pet relationship - its immense joys and painful sorrows. With wisdom and grace, he unlocks the canine soul and the complicated wonders that lie within and offers powerful inights to anyone who has ever struggled with, and loved, a troubled animal

What distinguishes Katz's witty canine account from most others is his absention from sentimentality ... The adventures described in A Dog Year are the stuff of great fiction ... Part cautionary tale, part love story, A Dog Year reminds us that adopting a pet is a massive responsibility but one that rewards the owner with a rich, more meaningful life

Moving, funny ... a loveable mutt of a book

The book is very enjoyable and makes you laugh at some points

The true story of a very lively abandoned Border Collie and the ups and downs of his eventful first year with a new family.

A delightful tale from the celebrated author

Tummy-wobbling humour

This is a wonderful re-telling by Anthony Browne of the Goldilocks fairy tale, which Browne gives a modern setting and a contemporary twist . . . The story is beautifully presented with the Bear family's world drawn in bright colours while 'Goldilocks' inhabits a bleak inner city landscape. The ending turns our usual convictions on their head, however, as we are shown it is the grey city world that has the warmth of a real home

The merging of the fairytale/streetscape ending is a masterstroke

A thought provoking new take on the traditional story of Goldilocks . . . Anthony Browne leaves readers lots to think about

Me and You is a wonderful example of the power of illustrations and how hey can play as important a role as words

Anthony Browne offers a new perspective on an old tale
