Misunderstanding and suspense lead to a happy, heroic rescue. -- Nicolette Jones * The Sunday Times * Browne’s iron-grey, layered skies and intricately coloured pebbles invite the reader to linger in his extraordinary landscapes. -- Imogen Russell Williams * The Guardian * An adventurous walk on the beach, conjured with such detail that you can almost taste the salt. -- Amanda Craig * New Statesman * Anthony Browne is the most extraordinary author and illustrator […] His books should be essential reading for children and adults alike. * Cotswold Life * This is a moving picture book showing a special relationship between a boy and his dog and what unexpected, amazing things you see when you look carefully. * Primary Times *
