Reviews

This crafty interactive picture book is 100% bliss and very toothsome indeed . . . The very young will enjoy all the changes of perspective and the jokes . . . A book that will have them squealing with delight

—— Lyn Gardner , Guardian

The hole in the page in Shark in the Park is the best use of this apparently simple device since PEEPO! by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. Sharratt's upbeat illustrations and rhyming, rhthymical text . . . Simple and satisfying, with audience participation guaranteed

—— Jill Slotover , Financial Times

Sharratt's use of die-cut components is very clever. The bold cartoon illustrations use a two-dimensional plane that perfectly accentuates critical aspects of the images. Contains the kind of humour that pre-schoolers find so very funny . . . jolly good fun

—— Books for Keeps

"Bliss!", will be the reaction from Sharratt's many young fans: 15 pages of crisp design, nifty cut-outs, visual thrills and a pacy tale of what a little boy sees through his telescope

—— Sally Williams , Independent on Sunday

Shark in the Park is an unequivocal success . . . the book is infused with a rather exhilarating sense of wonder and encouragement to explore new ways of looking at the world

—— Magda Healey , thebookbag.co.uk

Animals adapt so well to art with all their God-given beauty - and such art goes over well with curious children hungry to know more about the natural world ... Millie pairs beautiful images with information on the showcased fauna ... Intoxicating

—— Digital Arts

A menagerie of bright and colourful creatures

—— Big Issue

Beautifully illustrated

—— Guardian

Gorgeous ... teaches kids about the plight of endangered animals
