Funny and charming; Alex Milway has made me want to fly right into Big Sky Mountain myself.Andy Shepherd, author of THE BOY WHO GREW DRAGONS
I want to go to Big Sky Mountain! It's the rugged wilderness, but much softened by a comfy bear who's a travelling salesman, a moody architect hare and some busy builder beavers who still have to learn about how to get along with the rest of the community.Sarah McIntyre, illustrator of PUGS OF THE FROZEN NORTH
This is a perfect, big-hearted adventure story, with pictures and laughs on every page and an environmental message delivered with the lightest touch. Once you have met the wonderful cast of talking animals, warmed to Nan's peculiar ways and found your feet in the wilderness, like Rosa you'll never want to leave Big Sky Mountain.Clara Vulliamy
