About this title

Review:

This is a wonderful read that is bound to win first place in the bedtime-reading stakes (The Lady)

A wonderful story infused with love and humour about a new sibling, the problem of a crying baby and just what to do about it (The Guardian)

Aside form the perfect pace and humour of this book, it is the illustrations which set it apart from the average children's bedtime picture story book. Melling, author and illustrator, deserves even more awards to be heaped on him for his latest offering (Adoption.net)

A truly charming tale (Newbury Weekly News)

A delight ... [Melling's] witty illustrations and gently sardonic text combine with typographical showmanship resulting in a richly enjoyable story which has all the hallmarks of the classic children's picture book (Scottish Sunday Herald)

'A warming bedtime tale about coping with a new baby in the family... Perfect for Key stage 1 & 2 English classes. (PN)

On The Kiss That Missed:
1'It's funny and original and an absolute delight to read aloud - a perfect bedtime read.' - THE PARENT'S GUIDE
2.An ideal bedtime book ... This delightful tale is a true charmer ... Melling's witty illustrations are packed with imaginative detail, including the masterly touch of a delicate golden line tracing the swirling path of the kiss. - The Scotsman

On The Tale of Jack Frost:
'one of the best picture books of the year...' The Sunday Express
'a humorous story which is pared down to perfection.' Carousel
'Exquisitely illustrated and beautifully told... set to become a winter classic.' Primary Times
'Well-suited to read aloud.' Publishers Weekly

A wonderful story infused with love and humour (The Guardian)

It screams 'modern day classic' at you...perfect pace and humour (and) it is the illustrations which set it apart. Melling, author and illustrator, deserves even more awards to be heaped on him for his latest offering. (www.adoption-net.co.uk)
