What the critics say

The text has me chuckling every time and the illustrations by Quentin Blake are the perfect accompaniment.
- Parents In Touch

Rather odd premise for a children's picture book, but somehow it manages to work . . . I like it better each time I read it!
- TheBookbag.co.uk

A charming new book aimed at young children featuring the world famously brilliant illustrations of Quentin Blake.
- Bury Free Press

John Yeoman and Quentin Blake are names on a book to guarantee something extra special and The Heron and the Crane is just that.
- The School Librarian

There is an appeal (and certainly some moxie) to swapping the expected happy ending for this more ruminative approach.
