A great friendship story
Captures the unbreakable bond between children and their mankiest toys
A brilliant story with fabulous illustrations
Both author and illustrator are highly acclaimed in their own right and together in this absolutelu exquisite picture they have surpassed even their own high expectations. Wonderfully imaginative with a subliminal message too that toddlers everywhere will thoroughly enjoy
An engaging celebration of well-loved toys and imaginative play
Inspired partnership.
Cowell's text is modern, jazzy and fun. She creates a very real character in Emily Brown and her pet rabbit Stanley. Layton's illustration style perfectly accompanies the text...This book is energentic and fun. Highly recommended!
