"So ingenious you'll wonder why you haven't seen it before." - BookTrust

"If you are after bedtime stories with the 'WOW factor' these are for you. Inside the books are cardboard 'torches' that help your child see extra things in the pictures. So clever and so exciting." - The SEN Resources Blog

"This is a lovely read. As well as the cheery illustrations and the interactive element, the rhythmic text makes for a fun read aloud. It highlights how different the sky and surroundings are when it is night time."- Mamma Filz (Book blogger)
