Reviews
Praise for 'The Littlest Dinosaur's Big Adventure':
'Gently addresses fears experienced by many children and reassures them -KidsStuff
'Foreman takes us on a powerful, emotional journey ... cleverly exploiting tone and perspective to add emphasis. No gimmicks here. Just pastels, watercolour and an elegantly simple text ... All nicely reassuring' - The Herald (Glasgow)
'Michael Foreman's use of colour evokes mood brilliantly ... This simple tale is simply delightful' - The Scotsman
Praise for 'The Littlest Dinosaur':
'It is the illustrations as always with this author / illustrator that make the book special. The colours glow and shimmer, and the round, cuddly shapes of the dinosaurs are not the least bit threatening. If you've never seen a dinosaur smile, you are in for a treat! - Books for Keeps
