I think it is fair to say they are headed for Centre Parcs * Families Magazine *
Full colour illustrations packed with visual jokes, ideal for childre beginning to read confidently * MADE Magazine *
An entertaining story . . .illustrations are energetic and colourful . . . an enjoyable and lively read * Books for Keeps *
Alex Milway's book is a treat...more please! * Financial Times *
This highly entertaining story - saga almost - is just the kind of thing to keep readers turning the pages to see what is coming next. The illustrations too are splendid: ranging from some taking almost an entire double spread to others that are vignettes; most show so much more than we are told in the words. It's a wonderful mix of subtle humour and near slapstick; pretty near perfect for that in-between stage of reading. More please * Red Reading Hub *
Pigsticks and Harold are a delightfully off-beat duo who bring with them a breath of big world fresh air and a backpack full of laughter. They're quirky, wonderfully accident prone and will tickle the funny bone of any child who loves zany humour and madcap adventure. A colourful and lively story * Lancashire Evening Post *
A fabulous book that gets the imagination running wild * Babybuzz Magazine *
It's all quick and cartoonish, silly yet charming, and hopefully part of a series, as it strikes me the young reader's shelves could do with more of those qualities from the friendly paws of this particular duo * The Book Bag *
Pure, joyous silliness abounds in a story about ambition, trust, self-belief, and the dangers of goats * Financial Times *
A hilariously illustrated young reader book ideal for children ages 5 or older (but stacked with comic references that adults will also love) * Bath Life *
A charming tale * The Glasgow Herald *
Original and unusual * arousel *
"[...] irresistibly crammed with comic-book speech-bubble elements and outrageous visual puns, ideal for those who like their humour raucous and deliciously silly." * Books for Keeps *
