'The is the most fantastic book - inspiring, interesting, reflective, nostalgic, informative and attractive.' * Juno magazine *
'Reveals how children's literature has changed over time, from earnest instruction to playful adventure... includes bright covers and lively descriptions of beloved children's books from 1697 to 2011.' -- Alexandra Wolfe, * The Wall Street Journal *
'Great for suggestions of books and extracts which would be worth using in the classroom; I want children in my class to see how brilliant some older texts can also be... This is an ideal book for any lover of children's books and literature.' * Teacher Bookworm blog *
'This is a lovely keepsake for book lovers who can look back on the stories that shaped their childhoods (and adulthood!). It is also a nice gift for children who can discover some "new" books, or learn about the authors who wrote some of their favourites.'
