"A new favourite in our house. Loris is really interesting as a character; the text and pictures are brilliantly meshed together - I particularly like the page 'FAST'"
"So nostalgic - I love reading these stories to our son. They're so innocent and of another era, but not out of date, if that makes sense. George is delightful - just like a cheeky little boy!"
"A favourite by Lauren Child - not quite as off the wall or post modern as others by her, a charming story of a rat prepared to prostitute himself as a cat to get a home! Lovely."
"We quite often manage to get our little chap off to sleep after hearing this one. It was one of the first books he could 'read' (ie. memorise) along to. I think he likes the stars at the end too."
"A great little book for introducing toddlers and older wee ones to life changing or potentially difficult new experiences. Recently gave this to a friend taking her kids abroad for three months."
"Utterly charming little tale that my son really enjoys reading along to. Dragons, princes and goodnight stories all feature in a delightfully illustrated book."
"Where would we be without the Gruffalo? In fact where would we be without Julia Donaldson. Beautiful repetitive rhyme scheme and build up of tension allowing little ones to join in."
"Our family loves Lauren Child. This and the other 'Beware of the storybook wolves' are fantastically post modern - a treat to read to a toddler, although perhaps a bit too scary for some."
