Praise for Dogs in Disguise: ‘A rambunctious rhyming picture-book romp ideal for fans of the “Oi!” books, full of ingenious pooches and some truly outrageous rhymes (think schnauzers in trousers and shih-tzus doing ju-jitsu). Bond’s trademark wide, staring eyes and bright block colours perfectly complement Bently’s bouncing text.’ Guardian ‘This gleeful, absurd and beautifully drawn book should be on every Christmas list’ The Big Issue 'Laugh-out-loud funny!' Independent ‘An extremely well-crafted and fun story time book that will have children asking for repeat reads again and again.’ BookTrust Praise for Mini Rabbit Not Lost by John Bond: “Mixes silliness with a Jon Klassen-like note of piquant peril . . . and an unexpected final twist make(s) for great appeal.” Guardian ‘John Bond brilliantly captures the single-mindedness of small children…little readers will certainly want seconds.’ Observer “Adorable . . . a really sweet story with absolutely stunning illustrations” BookTrust Praise for Mini Rabbit Must Help by John Bond: “Lively colourful illustrations . . . A Charming and witty book” BookTrust
