Review

Children's Book Of The Week

"Reissued for a new generation, this classic has lost none of its power."

(The Times)

"The children’s art criticism is engagingly artless but encourages curiosity."

(The Observer)

"A truly awesome collection of art from some of our favourite artists, wrapped up in a book that just begs to be explored."

(Read It Daddy)

"Excellent."

(Red Reading Hub)

An absolute must for children (and grown ups) everywhere.

(Angels & Urchins)

"As the first Children’s Laureate, Quentin Blake created an original exhibition in the National Gallery, London, for which he chose 26 of his favourite pictures. Some were illustrations from children’s books, others were pictures by artists such as Edward Hopper and Paula Rego. All were wonderful pictures that tell a story. Through Quentin Blake’s choices and his gentle notes about the pictures, all young readers have the opportunity to enjoy all kinds of art and to bring their own meaning to it."

(Julia Eccleshare Love Reading)

"An unusual and stimulating approach to art."

(Parents in Touch)
