Critic Reviews

“"This stunning picture book is one for every child… eloquent and lyrical" --Sunday Times

"A powerful message about sharing and cooperation underpins this colourful, old-fashioned fable" --Daily Mail

"A gently satirical and gorgeously illustrated fable" --New Statesman

"McCaughrean is one of the greatest living children’s authors." --The Bookseller

"This is a tale with an olde-worlde feel about it that carries an age-old message about sharing and co-operating rather than hoarding and fighting. Having the children doing the stealing because they hear their parents lamenting not only demonstrates the power of children living what they see and hear but opens up a discussion about the morals and ethics involved. Do you do what you know to be morally right or do you do what needs to be done? An interesting story that could be compared to the good versus evil fairytales that were the moral compass of yesteryear." --Read Plus”

"This stunning picture book is one for every child… eloquent and lyrical" Sunday Times
"A powerful message about sharing and cooperation underpins this colourful, old-fashioned fable" Daily Mail
"A gently satirical and gorgeously illustrated fable" -- Amanda Craig New Statesman
"This story carries a poignant message for modern times, beautifully packaged as a classic fairy tale. Children will understand that sharing what you have with others is far more enjoyable and productive than being at war. The intricate watercolour illustrations have much to explore, with the graceful dragons as the stars of the show" BookTrust
"With its dramatic watercolour illustrations, this fable has much to say about our 21st-century world and the way in which leaders operate" -- Jill Bennett Books for Keeps
