Michael Morpurgo has a knack of taking one small fact and weaving around it a vibrant tale that brings a slice of history to life

The deceptively simple narrative style . . . conveys hope and despair, love and hate, and finally peace . . . Satisfying, thoughtful and ultimately heart-warming

This is a beautifully produced book, with a striking peephole cover and pen-and-wash illustrations by Michael Foreman that serve to dramatise the emotional depth of this touching story about friendship in adversity

A stirring tale of loyalty and bravery, superbly illustrated

The true story of a very lively abandoned Border Collie and the ups and downs of his eventful first year with a new family.

A delightful tale from the celebrated author

Tummy-wobbling humour

This is a wonderful re-telling by Anthony Browne of the Goldilocks fairy tale, which Browne gives a modern setting and a contemporary twist . . . The story is beautifully presented with the Bear family's world drawn in bright colours while 'Goldilocks' inhabits a bleak inner city landscape. The ending turns our usual convictions on their head, however, as we are shown it is the grey city world that has the warmth of a real home

The merging of the fairytale/streetscape ending is a masterstroke

A thought provoking new take on the traditional story of Goldilocks . . . Anthony Browne leaves readers lots to think about

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

Anthony Browne offers a new perspective on an old tale
