A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"Cooper has a shadowy style which she uses to great effect, wafting us into the surreal imagination of a boy determined to stay up all night" (The Times)

"Helen Cooper's beautifully illustrated, dreamy book dealing with the fears born of children's imaginings blurs the line between fact and fantasy in a way that provides lots of scope for classroom discussion" (TES)

"Beautifully and evocatively illustrated . . . A gem . . . A simple yet captivating picture book which youngsters will return to again and again" (Junior Bookshelf)

"Successfully combines the slightly scary with homely reassurance; it is effectively and simply told, and is brought to life by plenty of imaginative, detailed, full-page illustrations" (Books for your Children)
