Engagingly told in verse with colourful and forceful illustrations, "Roy The Eagle" was an instant hit when trialed with children aged 4-8, although it can be read to younger children out loud or read by older children on their own. A teacher at one primary school described the book as brilliant and one of the children said 'It is a story isn't it, because eagles don't wear glasses do they?' Another school has used the book to encourage a young girl who is refusing to wear her glasses. The teacher is very impressed and is looking for a cuddly toy eagle they can put glasses on! Children can follow Roy's adventures as he overcomes all kinds of obstacles to discover that the very things that make him different from his friends are what brings them closer together.

Wow, quite simply perfect! A fantastic book with a strong message, illustrated beautifully with the cutest story! I would love to see more in the range and have my fingers crossed that there will be, I am yet to find a child or adult for that matter that it does not go down well with - a must for every decent book shelf/ school, highly recommended! Kir Stee I help out at the local school and will be recommending that we get some copies in for the pupils, as it's a great tool for introducing the subject of bullying in a light-hearted way. The illustrations are fabulous - colourful and vibrant. I have no hesitation in recommending this book. Corinna Kinchin The illutrations are very eye catchy and appealing to kids, and the story is one of triumph over persecution. This notion is important to teach to kids at an early age, and Roy the Eagle does it with catchy rhymes and lovable animals (an eagle with glasses.., brilliant!) Mustafa Raniwalla Roy the Eagle is a lovely little book with a very important message. It's brilliant to be individual! It should be in every home and every school to help spread the message that bullying people is not cool, and people should be proud of who they are. Genna Foden

This is a lovely book with colourful, appealing illustrations and a great, positive story. I bought copies for all my nieces and nephews, ages from 2 to 10, and they all thought it was a great little book. I hope there will be more soon.
