Really super-jolly-nice review from US online bookstore, the Wordery
Bookpage just tweeted this fab review again - so I'm posting it here again, too.
Thanks Julie Danielson - and we hope so too!
FANTASTIC SOUTH KEN KIDS FESTIVAL
We had a wonderful week of workshops in schools as part of the fantastic South Ken Kids Festival, now into its seventeenth year!
At the weekend line-up, the Drawing Duos were particularly wonderful; the likes of Benji Davies & exquisite French illustrator Delphine Perret drawing to jazzzzzz was poetry in motion…Inimitable Quentin Blake (he's just good enough to eat) enthralled and entertained while Michael Rosen charmed and delighted his audience, young and old alike. Kids learned to draw like 'Gruffalo" Axel Shaffler and have I mentioned Mini Grey, Judith Kerr and Satoshi Kitamura were also there, along with some of the brightest and best of young French and UK illustrators…I'm including our very own Alex Barrow!
Okido magazine was also there, running a smashing, Okido-esque workshop of fun and frolics.
What a week that was!!

EDITORS' CHOICE...
Over the pond, in NYC, my friend went to buy a copy or two of Possum's Tail and this is what her amazon.com page looked like:
What's that, I hear you ask, editors' choice..?!
