"Ted Dewan's '3 Billy Goats Gruff'...is just the thing. The familiar yarn is done informally, but it's not messed about: it's a million miles from the sort of smirking look-how-clever-I-can-be stuff that winks at the adults while pretending to entertain the children. This hits the good old storytelling spot. Ted Dewan is a formidable illustrator, whose 'Inside the Whale" was a huge and deserved success. Here his style is looser and more painterly, but still under the control of a complete technical assurance." PHILIP PULLMAN, TES2 "...The tale comes across with a real freshness due to the dramatic illustrations, the brash hand-written lettering, and a funny lively text." ANTHONY BROWNE, FINANCIAL TIMES "Ted Dewan's American influence comes to the fore as the goats wear stylish baseball caps...The format is modern with bold script text, and illustrations that have exciting depth...an animated film on paper." CHILD EDUCATION "The modern vocabulary and the bright, lively pictures give this traditional story a freshness that it had the first time we all heard it." BOOKS FOR KEEPS |
