Reviews
Meet a quirky society of lemmings who live on the edge... a cliff edge to be precise! This marvellously madcap story starring a cast of eccentric lemmings comes from talented French artist and first-time author Julie Colombet who declares that she loves to start a project, find characters, evolve them and then grow attached to them. And here, she brings her artistic flair, wonderfully wry sense of humour and fertile imagination to this truly offbeat and outrageously entertaining tale of a group of learned lemmings. The Society of Distinguished Lemmings enjoys the finer things in life, with members aiming to be distinguished in everything they do. They perform long and serious plays, meal times are a spectacle of fine dining, they play the piano exceedingly well and they appreciate a glass of good wine. So when the lemmings meet a bear, they are faced with a great challenge. Can they transform this wild animal - which rather strangely prefers climbing trees and jumping in puddles to painting and chess - into a member of their grandiose society? This hilarious tale speaks loudly and joyfully about learning to overcome and celebrate our differences. The gorgeously textured illustrations are full of rich detail and lovable animal characters, and the hilarious one-liners will have both little ones and their parents chuckling as they turn the pages. A standout picture book that is destined to become a family favourite! -- Pam Norfolk * Lancashire Evening Post *
