Price knew all the right buttons to press to excite a young reader - exotic locations, nasty villains, wild animals and lashings of peril

Willard Price makes the pulse-rate soar

With its built-in repetition, the tension builds beautifully in this well-paced story ... Superb, and I specially love the ending.

It's a lovely story to share with young children, especially those of a nervous disposition who may well see some of their fears allayed.

For tinies, try The House Rabbit with its pretty pale green and lilac, chatty, busy illustrations.

This is a truly brilliant tale that we will definitely be recommending, reading again and putting on our favourites shelf! A real winner!

The tension builds beautifully in this well-paced story and cleverly controlled story. Cleverly controlled and patterned too are the suitably sombre illustrations and the fear in rabbit’s eyes is palpable. Superb and I specially love the ending.

The illustration is clean, characterful and beautifully detailed - you can virtually watch those whiskers twitching in alarm. I had the distinct feeling that at any moment The House Rabbit was going to leap right into life, off the page and be running around my feet! This book's a keeper.

An excellent example of the role that children's literature can play in supporting children's mental health...The House Rabbit gently suggests guided self-management of anxiety through mindful reality checking...I would recommend this book for all children.

Includes plenty of splendid, vocabulary-enhancing verbs such as "streaked", "tottered" and "padded".

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