Product Description
Hampstead and Highgate Express
Praise for Lauren Child: 'The kitsch queen of children's picture books.'
Review
Praise for Lauren Child: 1 'Wacky, idiosyncratic stunners.' - THE SUNDAY TIMES 2 Books are at the mercy of their owners, but careless Herb, who has defaced his fairytale collection with scissors and pencil, finds the traditional characters taking revenge in Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Book?, a more robust tale than last year's Kate' Greenaway medal winner, I will not Ever Never Eat a Tomato, with wider appeal (including key stage 2 readers). - TES teacher 3 Herb, the expressively wide-eyed hero of Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Book, is better at reading pictures than words. Lauren Child's anarchic book inventively plays with fairy-tale conventions. Herb, in his crazy nighmare, falls unwittingly into his own book - climbing up words of dramatically changing typography and being chased through pages by well-known characters. Herbs earlier snipping-out of Prince Charming and ... adding moustaches and telephones exacerbates the chaos. - The Bookseller 4 A wonderfully imaginative, postmodern idea. Absorbing and with fantastical zany pictures. - The Observer Review 5 Hugely creative, Lauren Child's individual style is shown to perfection in this funny, subversive story. - Parentwise
As funny as ever, with the usual distinction combination of graphics and collage artwork (childrens bookseller )
'Boldly conceived . . . brilliantly funny, and discerning.' (Carousel Christmas )
'If you haven't yet discovered the funky, stylish world of Lauren Child, buy this book for yourself . . . this woman is amazing.' (The Daily Mail )
This heartwarming tale is witty and entertaining and has a moral ending. Read it with your children at bedtime. (The Lady )
'Hubert Horatio Bartle Bobton-Trent . . . does capture the spirit of a bygone age. . . children will pore over the tiny details scattering the pages while the story contains enough humour based on the subtle nuances of social class to keep an adult entertained.' (the Guardian )
Praise for Lauren Child: 'The kitsch queen of children's picture books.' (Hampstead and Highgate Express )
This is Child's most ambitious and visually striking book yet. (Bookfest 2004 )
Hilarious, rather quirky... It is perfect for those beginning to gain confidence in their reading, great to share with less able readers and fun for all ages. (Primary Times Spring 2005 )
– ‘This is a quirky and unusual picture book, with the distinctive style we have come to expect from Lauren Child.’ (The School Librarian )
