"Hughes is such a phenomenon - this is as good as anything she's done" * Observer *
"Hughes takes the simplest of themes . . . and gives it universal significance. Make that woman a dame!" * Sunday Telegraph *
"Pre-school children will relate to this new story . . . For Hughes to produce yet another classic book is unquestionably a remarkable achievement for someone who first illustrated a children's book in 1953" * Books for Keeps *
"Shirley Hughes beautifully captures the little details and small moments of an insecure toddler's life . . . Hughes really understands the worries and fears of small children, she knows instinctively how to step back and observe the small details" -- Niamh Sharkey * The Irish Times *
"Like Alfie, Lily is set to become a big favourite with the pre-school child" -- Jack Ousbey * Carousel *
