What the critics say

An imaginative introduction to the rich-poor divide, with dream-like illustrations to bring the satire alive
- Junior

This book is a demonstration of the sheer virtuosity of Riddell's craft. Few other artists could describe the features of a desperate bear with such perfection
- Books for Keeps

As morality tales go, this is definitely one of the best . . .The book is great for adults with its cleverly hidden message and the illustration is indeed fantastic
