Magazine More Praise for Morag Hood: "If you''ve ever been faced with the problem of how to coax a crab out of a teapot, this is the book for you.

The Sunday Times on Teapot Trouble "Hood deploys her characteristic surreal comedy via bold primary-coloured images.

Joyously silly, it''s enormous fun both for reader and listener." The Guardian on Spaghetti Hunters "Wacky and funny, with bright, graphic images in flat colour, it will make mealtimes giggly."

The Guardian on Brenda Is a Sheep "Humorous and appealing illustrations buoy the tale, provide a subtext, and leave readers'' worries in the dust." School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW on Brenda Is a Sheep "For young readers with a taste for the ominous." Kirkus Reviews on Brenda Is a Sheep "Adorable.Whether snoozing curled up in their burrows or following their passions of broccoli, cheese and flowers, these aardvarks, and their happy ending, make for ear-to-ear smiles." The Guardian on Aalfred and Aalbert: A Love Story "A superbly comic though still subtle and understated gay love story.

While some children might read Aalfred and Aalbert simply as a story of friendship, others will be delighted by the small, sweet smiles of the enormously endearing protagonists, finding and falling for each other at last." Times Literary Supplement "The simple, deadpan narrative shows flashes of laugh-out-loud moments.The steadfast resignation of the only-occasionally-lonely aardvarks and the bird''s wordless but powerful expressiveness keep the story light, dry, and satisfying. A charming depiction of friendship and love." Kirkus Reviews on Aalfred and Aalbert: A Love Story "Sweet and silly.An effective, gentle reminder that love is love."
