How's that for a clickbait title?


But seriously, we love writing and illustrating these books and want you to join the family of folks who've read and enjoyed them. But don't take our word for how good they are. Check out this compilation of reviews (below) from children, parents, guardians, teachers, librarians and celebs. And this list IS shocking. Shockingly long and lovely.


All the best,
