Reviews

A brilliant debut that kids will love. The superb illustrations are on a par with Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar

—— The Sun

Peely Wally has all the ingredients of a perfect book for under fives. The illustrations are vivid, colourful and easy on the eye. Peely Wally is a paint splat with googly eyes . . . Gorgeous!

—— Becky Goddard-Hill , Book Reviews for Mums

The undoubted star of Peely Wally are Kali Stileman's illustrations . . . The mixture of splodgy paint and striking collage works to great effect

—— The Bookbag

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

—— Playing the Book

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

—— Glasgow Herald

...a well produced book on a classic theme...the simple line-drawings may provide inspiration to try their own hand at following Dog's example.

—— Martin Axford , School Librarian Magazine

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!

—— Parents In Touch

Any book that has an embossed green bogey on the cover has already got my vote. This frankly vile book is a complete and utter joy from beginning to end . . . A revoltingly good treat for young children

—— Stacia Briggs , Norwich Telegraph

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

—— Book Zone For Boys

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

—— The School Librarian
