A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

This story is about exactly what it says in the title - A Boy and a Bear in a Boat. And yet it is so much more than that. Much more. It will leave every reader with a huge grin across their face.

Here are some reasons why:

· This book is one of the most ORIGINAL and ENTERTAINING stories you will read.

· It contains the most DANGEROUS sandwich in the world.

· It is unfailingly HILARIOUS.

· The illustrations are TO DIE FOR.

· If you get given this book, you are LUCKY.

· If you get to share this book aloud, you are BLESSED.

· This is an AMAZING DEBUT by a brand new storyteller. If you own this book, everyone else will be JEALOUS.*

* The author is a very modest fellow who would never make claims like these. But the publisher knows what he is talking about and stands by every single one of them, and, if anything, has downplayed how gloriously GRIN-INDUCING this book truly is.

Revue de presse

"A Boy and a Bear in a Boat is a joy to read: slightly surreal, funny, a little bit scary" (The Bookbag)

"Rich in atmosphere and gently humorous, this is a delightful, small-scale but epic adventure" (Julia Eccleshare Love Reading)

"Sometimes scary, sometimes deeply touching, and often very funny indeed" (Helen Mulley Teach Primary)

"The lovingly designed jacket and hardback cover, with its slightly mottled paper and "worn" spine, evokes memories of Mervyn Peake's Letters from a Lost Uncle" (Philip Ardagh Guardian)

"A beautifully tender and enchanting story of a developing friendship between two most unlikely characters, in the most improbable of settings" (Library Mice)
