Review:

"This wonderfully gothic, Hansel-and-Gretel-type fairy tale will have children roaring with laughter as well as getting the message that fears can be conquered with love and understanding." --Books for Keeps

"The strength of this book lies in Sif's absorbing illustrations. Miss Hazeltine is brought to life as a warm, spirited and nimble character, a contrast to the withdrawn, crouching nature of the many scaredy cats in her care [...] This is a worthy story about patience, courage and wholehearted acceptance of the unique character of each individual." --Inis Reading Guide

"This is a magically illustrated picture book with detailed drawings affording plenty of opportunities to talk and share with young readers [...] The language is simple and understated and as a result the message remains clear - that kindness and friendship can triumph!" --The School Librarian

Book Description:

The conquering of fear is celebrated in this stunning book from two rising stars of picture book making - Kate Greenaway shortlisted Birgitta Sif and Alicia Potter.
