Reviews

An excellent version of a magnificent story that will be loved by child and parent.

—— The School Librarian

This is a simple retelling of the birth of Jesus with gentle illustrations which will introduce very small children to the real story of Christmas.

—— Blackbird Pie

Enormous fun

—— TES

An amusing picture book celebration of underwear big and small, that will make children everywhere laugh their socks off. The bright, bold illustrations complement the witty text perfectly

—— Waterstones Books Quarterly

For pure, bright, toddler delight, grap a copy of Pants . . . This is the kind of wild, wacky, mischievous picture book that we expect from this winning duo. Do not underestimate toddler power; you will be inventing a tune to the rhythmic beat of the text and singing this book again and again every night

—— The Bookseller

Along with the fun embedded in the narrative, there is art work here of high quality in Tim Hopgood's presentation.

—— The School Librarian

A lovely heart-warming story with some lovely life lessons about not judging people by their looks

—— Madhouse Family Reviews blog

A simple tale, told in a gentle way, with lovely illustrations, a good bedtime book

—— Burnley Express

Just as the orange bird brightens Yeti’s world, these two will warm the hearts of young readers. Told with exceptional economy and striking art, this tale of an unusual friendship is a great choice for all libraries.

—— Mary Jean Smith , Southside Elementary School, Lebanon, TN

Shireen writes with admirable restraint and fills in the narrative gaps with engaging illustrations. Her double-page spreads create potent atmosphere with carefully placed strong shapes and forthright color. Spot illustrations effectively convey easy-to-understand action and humor. Striking visuals that combine compelling use of shape, page design and color successfully carry this version of an oft-told story.

—— Kirkus

A giant white teardrop of a beast, Yeti is the loneliest monster around. Until, that is, a lost tropical bird drops in. It's a joy to witness pensive Yeti making a new friend, as is watching him learn that he belongs somewhere. The striking visual contrast between Yeti and the bird makes every page a treat, enlivening what might otherwise have been a melancholy story. Each page has a strikingly different palette, accentuating a range of feelings from isolation to coziness. Kids who themselves feel lonely or worried will be glad to hug Yeti and the Bird to their chests.
