From Flying Eye, Joe Todd-Stanton's A Mouse Called Julian offers Brambly Hedge-style charm spiced with a pinch of peril. Julian, a solitary mouse, regrets his aloofness when a fox breaks into his home, determined to eat him - but fox and mouse become unlikely friends. Cross section illustrations of glowing, cosy rooms, slyly funny dialogue and a nuanced happy ending add up to a picture book as warm as a candle-lit burrow.
The Guardian
Intricate illustrations of the natural world are a glorious backdrop to a story of enemies that become friends.
