Reviews
“In addition to the glorious humour in Jennifer Bell’s text, we are given some brilliant artwork from Sarah Horne that brings the story to life wonderfully well and will delight both children and any adults lucky enough to be sharing this with them. Ideal as a shared read – at home or in class – for those in Year 2, this works perfectly well as a standalone and will also be enjoyed throughout KS2 by readers who are newly confident and either want or need an illustrated story. I very much enjoyed it and am hoping that there are more adventures in store for Buck and his friends.”Mrs Sydney's Famous World's Smallest Library, Mrs Sydney's Famous World's Smallest Library
