"""My favourite books for very young children are Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak and Not Now Bernard by David McKee."" ""Not Now Bernard is THE book of our times"" * Frank Cottrell-Boyce * ""Arguably the finest children's books ever written, McKee's clever fable is both a warning to neglectful parents and a very funny story about being ignored."" * The i * ""It's so good!"" * Adam Buxton * ""Not Now, Bernard could be the most profound picture book I’ve ever read. [It’s] possibly my favourite picture book of all time. It's so powerful, it's so funny, dark - it's everything. That to me is the number one kids book of all time... It's funny to a four year old and meaningful to a 36 year old"" * Ben Bailey Smith aka Doc Brown *"
