Reviews

Sendak is the daddy of them all when it comes to picture books - the words, the rhythm and the design are all wonderful.

—— S Magazine , Sunday Express

If there is more to life than having everything, there, is also more to life than having nothing; Jennie's farewell letter to her old master is written from Castle Yonder. In synopsis, this sounds both more and less ambiguous than it is -- you can't compress the reverberations into a review, and certainly not the ominous illustrations; it may by-pass some adults because Sendak speaks directly to the elastic imagination of children.

—— Kirkus reviews

The book, which is very reminiscent of Dr Seuss . . . is a lovely life lesson and deliciously naughty toilet-humour that will have young readers squealing in delight

—— Madhouse Family reviews

Great for little people

—— Burnley Express

They have masterminded a work of genius.

—— Philip Stone , The Bookseller

A very, very silly book written by two members of pop band McFly, Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter. The story revolves around Danny – a very greedy boy who asks Father Christmas for too many presents. But Father Christmas decides enough is enough and instead gives Danny a huge Dinosaur which results in a very messy and smelly consequence. If your child liked Aliens in Underpants or The Story of the Little Mole, they will love this funny yet cautionary tale.

One of the funniest, and one of the most irreverant Christmas books out there. . . If you like your humour to be slightly scatological in nature, then The Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas will have children in fits of laughter (and a large amount of adults too). . . Brilliant!

—— Martine Horvath , EYE magazine

Beautifully illustrated, really funny and rather smelly

—— www.theschoolrun.com

[This] beautifully illustrated picture book contains a moving message about love, loss and learning to accept change
