“This book reignited my 9 year old daughter's love for
reading. It was sad to see that she had become so detached from her reading but
once she discovered Guy Bass' Gorblimey there was no stopping her, she loves
reading again and it's all thanks to The Unimaginary Friend.”
“Fred’s Book ‘Gnome’ is just beautiful both the writing and
illustrations are beautiful to share with my children!”
“A fantastic selection of books, really difficult to decide
on a winner from each category!”
"Love, love love The Light Hunters absolutely wonderful book!"
