Review
'The large format book is gorgeous to look at and it is in the imagery, with its muted colours and rich, pencil-lined detail, that readers old and young will find greatest pleasure…By turns funny, unsettling and touching, Donald & Benoit becomes the kind of book that could inhabit a young imagination for decades.' --Mark Fisher, Scotland on Sunday, March 2011
'…reacquainting us with the idea that illustration is every bit as important as narrative…Playwright and artist Byrne takes us on a beat up fishing smack out to sea and back inland to the cool cat world of the Dark Night of the Lemon Sole Café, narrated with in his unmistakeable voice, as juicy as the black pudding his characters revere.' --Families South East Magazine, May 2011
The enchanting picture-book, gorgeously illustrated by Byrne, has been worth the wait. --Festivals Magazine, August 2011 issue

Product Description
A whimsical and magical tale of friendship is brought to vivid life by the award-winning and heralded Scottish artist and playwright. Benoit lives a life of mundane ordinariness in his seaside town. What could ever liven his droll existence? Enter Donald, the small and mischievous black kitten. While waiting for Benoit’s father to return from his fishing trip, this team makes life more interesting for everyone around them. This odd couple shakes things up by raiding the library, taking drum lessons, and befriending the coolest troupe of dancing dogs this side of Glasgow. Filled with all the fun and fancy of a classic European tale, readers of all ages will be enchanted by Byrne’s lyrical prose and magical drawings of the sleepy seaside town turned upside down by the rambunctious duo.
