‘A perfect feel good picture book' and ‘a unique picture book and a
terrific read’
*The Bookseller*
charming ... ideal for three and a half years upwards and its
soothing narrative is good for bedtime. Likely to become a
classroom favourite too.
*We Love This Book*
extraordinary ... the perfect marriage of a beautiful, timeless
story and stunning illustrations
*Lovereading4kids.co.uk*
Jon Klassen's illustrations carry the joke of this affirming
fantasy effortlessly.
*The Guardian*
Jon Klassen's illustrations add greatly to this story. His
colourful knitting pattern pulls the story together as it features
not only on clothes, but on buildings, cars and animals. He
portrays Annabelle with the most wonderful expressions which
reflect her strength of character. This delightful story will read
aloud very well in class and be ideal for role play activities
*Reading Zone*
I adored this book so much I read it twice from cover to cover
without stopping. It’s a sweet story but funny too, and I love the
style of the writing and the ending
*The Book Bag*
