Howlingly funny, its luridly elegant illustrations will be in
frequent demand; ideal for parents and grandparents to read
aloud.
*Times*
The pictures are bold, dashing and minimalist against brilliant
orange. The writing is cannily judged for reading aloud
*Guardian*
Set to a gorgeously rich colour palette of purples, orange and deep
crimson, this is a delightfully playful tale with minimal text but
oodles of personality that shows how the best intentions can go
awry.
*Junior*
I think I have been in love with George from the moment the book
publicist showed me the proofs
of this book. Finally published, we can tell you about this lovely
rogue. He tries to be good but it’s
hard work, especially when there’s a cat to chase and a cake to
devour…
*Angels and Urchins*
With his strong vibrant colours, lively characters and distinctive
writing style, Chris Haughton is quickly becoming one of our best
new illustrators.
*We Love This Book*
Glorious, vibrant, expressive illustrations
*CBI recommended reads of 2012*
This is a visual romp
*Independent*
Lots of fun
*Lytham St Annes Express*
A very funny picture book . . . charming
*Lytham St Anne's Express*
Hilarious . . . young children will delight in George’s attempts to
behave in the face of life’s many distractions
*Well’s Life*
