Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Book? Reviews

Child's comedy romp confounds the expectations of young readers to hilarious effect. * Time Out *
Child's book is so unusual, it's impossible not to get drawn into it ... as with all Child's books, her wonderfully quirky illustrations bring the story to life * The List *
Lauren Child pushes the boundaries of design in a book crammed with a wealth of comic detail * Child Education *
Each page is still a surprise and a delight * Books For Keeps *
A book children will come to again and again * School Librarian *
Lauren Child's individual style is shown to perfection in this funny, subversive story * Bookwise *
Brilliantly observed with heaps of irreverent (but good natured) humour) * Junior *
Books are at the mercy of their owners, but careless Herb, who has defaced his fairytale collection with scissors and pencil, finds the traditional characters taking revenge... a more robust tale than last year's Kate Greenaway medal winner. * TES TEACHER *
Lauren Child returns to the endlessly malleable world of fairy tale characters. Her spiky style and confident handling of the source material creates a book which is more of a literary event than a quiet read. ... fabulous mix of collage, line drawings, photography and wacky typography * Lindsay Fraser, Glasgow Sunday Herald *
Herb is back and has fallen into a storybook. A thrilling story to scare your socks off, and another sharp look at the fine line between stories and the real world. * Children's Buyers Guide - Autumn Books *
Very, very funny and definitely not to be missed! * Bfk *
wonderfully imaginative ... Absorbing and with fantastical, zany pictures * The Observer *
