A much copied idea – but this is the original and the best. Playful and thoughtful and fun.
2
The story is told through pictures and the expressions on the faces of the various characters. It's very funny.
3
This is the first book in a trilogy. It's the most inventive, unexpected and brilliant illustrated adventure story I've ever come across. Every year I check to see if the author has produced another book to continue the story. She hasn't yet. My children return to these books again and again. I buy them for anyone who has little children.
4
Treehorn is shrinking but his parents haven't noticed. Will they ever notice? A wonderful warning in this book for busy, distracted parents. Illustrations are out-of-this-world good too.
5
It's perfection and unexpected. Never fails to lift my spirits. So much to discover. And it has a quiet philosophy behind it – as all David Lucas's books do.
