Review
" "In this charming tale told from the biscuit's point of view, Mini Grey creates a hugley satisfying night world where fear can be seen off and a biscuit can change its chances in life" - The Guardian "Enjoyable as much for the witty innocence of the pictures as the barking-mad originality of the prose" - The Independent "Mini Grey. one of the brightest new stars on the picture-book scene, seems to be incapable of producing a dull word or picture... Grey's text is beautifully matched by her clever visual jokes and inventive changes of perspective" - Financial Times "Mini Grey is one of the rising stars of children's illustration. Biscuit Bear... is visually scrumptious, a flavoursome mix of wit and skill" - The Sunday Times "A star turn" - The Observer "An original and amusing story that will have immense appeal for both children and adults... a beautifully-presented, engaging and funny book, which can't fail to be a hit with children everywhere" - Booktrusted News. "A totally original and highly entertaining new picture story by a talented author-artist" - Northern Echo "This is an outrageously quirky tale" - Junior "A truly scrumptious picture book with all the right ingredients; sophisticated, surreal and wonderfully anarchic" - Books for Keeps"
