A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'Full of the sort of repetition and lulling husherby rhythm that keeps little children listening. The real motor is not the words, however, but the pictures, which are powerful and tender.' --Independent

'Introducing the very young to both the I Spy game and those cumulative word games where you have to remember an increasing long string of objects, An Island in the Sun is also a dreamy and magical experience in its own right... As he sails across the great expanses of azure water, it is as if he is gathering everything you need to be happy - love, friendship, food, freedom and a place to play - through his spy-glass. Truly delightful.' --Guardian

'This book features an 'I Spy' element as new items appear on every page. The pictures are in rich colours with a magical far-away feel, while the text weaves over the page like the boat over waves.' --Practical Parenting
