He has been deliberately liberal in his choice. It is a very beautiful and lyrical book. The roots of the pictures go back to classic American art. It is a very beautifully made book.

A moving tribute to 13 influential Americans and how they helped shape the US . . . The message applies to us all - anything is possible and we can achieve whatever we set our minds to. It's a lovely book to share with children. Can we read it and enjoy it? Yes we can

Of Thee I Sing is a beautiful hardback picture book that celebrates the potential within each of us to pursue our dreams and forge our own paths

This simple tale is great fun for the younger crowd. There's just the right amount of adventure, a suggestion of disaster, a reassuring rescue, and a great deal of love and care

Reminiscent of Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar . . . More please

Children will absolutely love it - I will leave adults to make up their own minds . . . The illustrations are wonderful - full of grisly details that children will adore, and they will delight in reading the story to you. Great fun!

Sarah McIntyre certainly does not hold back with her illustrations of Giles Andreae's hilarious rhyming words . . . Sarah's illustrations are all beautifully drawn, with an incredible attention to detail that will have children poring lovingly over the pages

Comes across as an infant Fungus the Bogeyman in the sort of humourous rhymes of text Giles Andreae does so well
