Reviews for Bad Apple

'An ideal picture book for newly independent readers ... this story had my two giggling away' - @bookishwaytoplay 'A lovely addition to any family book collection. Great concept with simple, clean and bright illustrations' - Parenting Without Tears 'It has the feel of a future classic to me – like an edgier alternative to the much-loved Oi Frog and Friends books. Recommended!' - @ivyslibrary 'With a message that there are consequences for our actions, the punchy rhyming text, coupled with fun and expressive illustration make this a perfect book for early readers' - @raisingbookworms 'A breezy, light-hearted giggle-fest' - Michael Wagner 'A delight for readers of every age.' - Mick Elliott 'A future classic' - David Litchfield 'A stonkingly funny slice of wordplay, with stylishly silly illustrations...an immediate “again” book!' - Fred Blunt 'Bravo! [a] great story' - Nick Sharratt 'Hilarious … the stark pages with painterly yet graphic illustrations make this rhyming tale a great read aloud … lesson learned the funny way' - @thereadingninja
