Review
"This first time pairing of two acclaimed talents has created a visual feast" (The Guardian 20061209)

Charming, funny and gets my vote as the best picture book of the year (FTMagazine 20061210)

. . . a touching story . . . (The Mail on Sunday )

A brilliant crescendo story with fabulous illustrations.

(Angels and Urchins )

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!

(Children’s Books Ireland )

Cowell has written the picture book of the year.

(The Times )

Inspired partnership.

(The Sunday Telegraph )

Illustrated with gloriously messy collages by Neal Layton, the funkiest illustrator on the block.

(Daily Mail )

A picture book that will be sought and loved .

(The Independent )

Charming, funny and gets my vote for the best picture book of the year.

(Financial Times )

A touching story that will engage any small child.

(The Mail on Sunday )

4.0 out of 5 stars A lovely fable with messages on many levels, 5 May 2007
By struts (Stockholm, Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: That Rabbit Belongs to Emily Brown (Hardcover)
Emily Brown is a young lady with a fertile imagination, a cast iron will and a worn-out (or rather worn-in) rabbit called Stanley. Unfortunately their relationship has piqued the jealousy of the thoroughly spoilt Queen Gloriana the Third who will stop at nothing to make him her own.

When Emily flatly refuses her ever more extravagant offers for him the Queen sends her Special Commandos to shanghai the hapless leporid. Now it is Emily who is not amused and she goes straight to the castle to rescue her faithful companion.

While the storyline explores themes such as covetousness and loyalty, I think the central lesson here is about the power of love - it is Emily's unconditional love for Stanley that makes him seem more valuable than all the Queen's other toys. What makes this book stand out for me is the deftness with which this abstract concept is communicated in a way that children can understand.

This profound message is wrapped in a beguiling story with a punchy script that offers huge scope for adult readers to ham up the parts of the Queen and the various royal emissaries. The illustrations are vintage Layton, combining his usual vibrant style with elements of collage, photography and clip-art, so there is plenty for observant little eyes to discover.

A 'worthy' winner of its gold medal in the 2006 Nestlé Children's Book Awards, I am nevertheless slightly surprised that this book was rated so highly by a jury comprising children. It has proven nothing like as popular with Alice (3 1/2) as the superb fairy story "The Emperor of Absurdia" which took silver, hence only four stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Daughter loves it!, 15 Aug 2007
This review is from: That Rabbit Belongs to Emily Brown (Hardcover)
My nearly 4year old daughter chose this book on one of our weekly trips to the library. Although she enjoys listening to all stories this one seems to have stuck exceptionally well- so much so that it is currently the only story she will have at bedtime and she has learnt much of it off by heart (no more skipping pages for me!!) The book needs to be returned to the library next week hence the reason I am buying her a copy for her birthday. Bedtime wouldn't be the same without it!

4.0 out of 5 stars My daughter's favourite, 18 Dec 2007
By Mrs. K. A. Wheatley "katywheatley" (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
As an adult I have to say that this is not my favourite book to read to my kids. The repetitious nature of the offers Emily Brown receives from the stroppy young queen for her manky rabbit, Stanley are rather like the far superior: 'Eat Your Peas' starring Daisy. The moral of the story, that something which is old and battered, yet truly loved, is worth more than all the new dollies in the world which say Ma Ma, has also been done before in the deserved children's classic, The Velveteen Rabbit. The mixture of drawn and collaged art comes from Lauren Child and all in all I found myself comparing to a lot of things and finding it wanting.
Yet, having said all that, and this is the most important thing. This is the book that my four year old daughter picks almost every night, and has done for months, for me to read to her. Before we bought it, it was almost on permanent loan from the library until I was worn down enough to shell out for it.
I have found a solution however, the copy we have comes with the story on cd in the back, read by the ever wonderful Tamsin Grieg, and so when I can't stand it any more, on goes Tamsin and retells the story with good grace every time.
