So much to think about, so much to talk about in this book; but first, share it and enjoy the journey, for thatâs really what it is and itâs one Iâd wholeheartedly recommend is undertaken by anyone from around four years old onwards.
- Jill Bennet, Red Reading Hub
This is a joyous story, sensitively told and beautifully illustrated, with a delightful main character gradually discovering that being brave and adventurous brings rich rewards. I loved it from start to finish.
- Daily Mail, Daily Mail
This is a brilliant story about the things that can happen when we try new things and challenge ourselves, and Bogtrotter is a real picture book star, a joyously exuberant character who reminds us all that life is full of adventure, discovery⌠and boundless possibilities.
