Mouse Noses on ToastWinner of the 6-8 age category in the Nestlé Children’s Book Prize. Illustrated by the amazing David Roberts. Published in the US, Finland, Georgia and elsewhere. |
“Paul Mouse has some unusual friends: the Tinby, a strange, tiny monster with a round top and a flat bottom, little square legs and tiny black eyes, and Sandra, a plastic Christmas tree decoration brought to life by a magician in a previous story. This story of how the three of them, helped by a dog called Rowley Barker Hobbs, save mouse noses from ending up on toast is exciting, charming and ridiculous.”
Julia Eccleshare, The Guardian

“Incredibly funny and imaginative.” Sunday Express
“A unique and funny treat.” The Bookseller
“Writer and illustrator have together produced a ridiculous, fun-packed riot and a sequel (one hopes) seems inevitable.” The Herald
