Review
I can't imagine ever being disappointed by a Helen Cooper picture book. She is the quintessential children's illustrator, producing a consistently high quality artwork which never lacks child-friendliness. Carousel Helen Cooper surpasses her wildly successful Pumpkin Soup with this touching story about the power of childhood imagination and its immense capacity for delight and terror. The illustrations are gorgeous and there is a recipe for delicious non Dog Biscuits at the end of the story. Irish Post 20081206 Helen Cooper, the author of the award-winning The Bear Under the Stairs, has delivered another gorgeously daft, funny tale for tots. The Sunday Business Post 20081207 Cooper is an assured storyteller. The lyrical text is packed with subtle rhymes and is very pleasing to read aloud. The Evening Standard 20090122 A wonderful picture book. The Sunday Tribune 20081214 The lyrical text is packed with subtle rhymes and is pleasing to read aloud. Eastern Daily Press 20081223 Award-winning illustrator Helen Cooper's hugely imaginative dog fantasy carries the reader on a wild and explosive night-time caper after Bridget eats a dog biscuit by mistake.
