Industry Reviews

"The most exciting book for this age that I have read in yonks." * The Times *
"A warmhearted story...Illustrations by Axel Scheffler perfectly capture the droll humour of the stories." * Books for Keeps *
"Alex Ruhle has created a warm-hearted, smart children's book which easily lends itself to reading aloud or on one's own. There is a lot of wordplay (not least because Zippel likes to rhyme) and impish slapstick. The brightly coloured comicbook style of Gruffalo-artist Axel Scheffler is a perfect match to the text. A story about family and everyday problems, friendship, courage and a very special little ghost" -- Anja Witzke * Donaukurier *
"This fascinating story contains a lot of wit and has been skillfully illustrated. It is also well suited for reading aloud to children age 6 and up" * Zuricher Oberlander *
"The book contains many colourful pictures by Axel Scheffler (The Gruffalo). First and foremost, though, Alex Ruhle's children's book debut impresses with its informal child-friendly narrative style and lots of hilarious ideas. A gem which leaves you wishing for more" * Hamburger Morgenpost *
