Review:

Praise for My Henry: "My Henry is as charming as her other works... For all the depth of underlying emotion, there's a celebratory feel to it." Cassandra Jardine, The Telegraph "It bears all her trademarks, lively illustration, a cheerful blend of the everyday and the fantastic... A deeply poignant yet ultimately uplifting tale..." Giulia Rhode, Sunday Express Praise for `One Night in the Zoo': "Lovely... uses soothing, pastel illustrations and exotic animals to make basic counting seem unintimidating." Daily Telegraph " A magical rhyming tale" The Times Praise for `Twinkles, Arthur and Puss': "A very engaging take on feline behaviour" The Bookseller Praise for `The Tiger Who Came To Tea': "Near perfection of form is embellished by clear, expressive illustrations. The pace is exactly right, the resolution totally satisfying." Dorothy Butler, Babies Need Books. "A modern classic." The Independent. "This book has enduring charm and young children will delight in the preposterous notion of a tiger creating mayhem in the house." Junior Magazine Praise for `Mog the Forgetful Cat': "Grandparents are likely to get as much fun out of seeing it again as the new generation of fans just learning to read!" Choice Magazine Praise for `Goodbye Mog': "Kerr's warmth, humour and honesty make this an engaging introduction to a difficult topic." Financial Times "Believable, amusing and moving." Nursery World "A supremely sensitive story." The Times
