 The Dove (previously entitled THE BIRD)

Reviews>
BOOKS FOR KIDS

‘The Queen’s Knickers and Heave were bestsellers for adult and children alike. The Dove has the same blend of humour and directness that makes it easy and subtle. The Hermit is furious when a bird disturbs the deep peace of the island. The just can’t live together. But they can’t live apart either as they quickly discover when the bird flies away. Maybe the two of them could make a go of it, but then the bird turns up with the rest of the party – Noah and an ark full of animals.’ Julia Eccleshare (The Bookseller).

‘Funny and memorable…blasts new energy into the Old Testament story’ The Independent

‘Elegant, charming…a lightly told moral story about friendship.’ The Observer

‘Its quality is a simplicity of text and illustrations with a strength and power beneath.’ Oxford Times
