Reviews
A spectacular sequel to Pumpkin Soup . . . Share Cooper's recipe for success, close the covers and then hear the cries for more * TES *
Fraught territory, beautifully controlled * Guardian *
As well as being beautifully illustrated and full of the same spiky humour as Cooper's best-selling Pumpkin Soup, it conveys how scary being lost can be - for children and parents * Daily Telegraph *
Well designed and beautifully produced, it positively glows with mellow autumn warmth and fruitfulness * Books for Keeps *
The rich, glowing colours give a New York-like city an oriental, almost psychedelic look . . . The book has an adorable quality. One of my favourites * The Children's Bookseller *
