Hughes is a much loved and respected children's author, famous for
the quality and appeal of her stories and the beauty of her
illustrations. This collection caters for children of all ages and
can be enjoyed and shared by the whole family. Leaping through the
pages are stories, rhymes, poems and even cartoons. There are old
and new characters, the ever-popular Alfie and Naughty Little
Sister share space with newly published material. The 'Nursery
Years' and 'Young Children' sections contain lots of captivating
pictures that small children will identify with and the stories and
rhymes are interactive which will hold their attention. The
language is simple and lively but manages to convey effectively
some useful messages about manners and kindness, without preaching.
'Mudlarks' is a joy while 'Lucy and Tom at the Seaside' is a
touchingly nostalgic snapshot that is so perfect, most readers will
feel it could have been written just for them. The author delights
in reliving the fun and thrill of youthful adventures in
action-packed tales. There are evocative and sensuous poems to
conjure up the world as seen through the eyes of a young child. The
stories for 'Older Children' and for 'All to enjoy' are more
sophisticated but lose none of the charm and appeal of the earlier
sections. A book to keep and treasure, to share with children and
grandchildren. An absolute classic. (Kirkus UK)
