Me and You

Goldilocks may be familiar, but Anthony Browne, the children's laureate, has made the story new in Me and You adding rich interpretation in text and pictures * The Sunday Times * The differing styles of illustration implicitly raise issues of who belongs where and the tale as a whole asks many questions about right and wrong -- Helen Ward * TES * As always Anthony's illustrations are mesmerising -- Natasha Harding * The Sun * Alongside the re-telling of a fairytale is a completely different, quite modern story. Anthony Browne's words present one and his pictures the other until, as the book nears its end, the two come together . . . There are so many layers in this story that it will entrance young readers time after time * The Scotsman * Anthony Browne has an extraordinary knack of turning a story into so much more . . . Once again, the author extends the boundaries of the picture book with this rich and thought-provoking story -- Anne Faundez * Carousel * Me and You is a thought provoking, post-modern version on the well-loved fairytale . . . The most rewarding of picture books * The Bookseller * It's the Goldilocks tale from a fresh perspective, but the more you dig, the more Me and You will reveal. It's an utterly gorgeous picture book that works on so so so many levels * The Bookbag * This is a wonderful re-telling by Anthony Browne of the Goldilocks fairy tale, which Browne gives a modern setting and a contemporary twist . . . The story is beautifully presented with the Bear family's world drawn in bright colours while 'Goldilocks' inhabits a bleak inner city landscape. The ending turns our usual convictions on their head, however, as we are shown it is the grey city world that has the warmth of a real home * Reading Zone * The merging of the fairytale/streetscape ending is a masterstroke * Irish examiner * A thought provoking new take on the traditional story of Goldilocks . . . Anthony Browne leaves readers lots to think about -- Julia Eccleshare * Lovereading4Kids.co.uk *
