Today's the day my DO YOU SEE THE TIGER? - illustrated by wonderful David Melling - hits UK bookshop shelves. Ouch! As with all Walker Picture Books, it has been pored over by experts... who declared it a rip-ROARING read. "It's certainly earned its stripes."

High praise, indeed, from Kirkus Reviews for David Melling's illustrations in DO YOU SEE THE TIGER? (Kirkus ia a highly respected, long-standing US book review magazine founded in 1933.) No mention of the beauty of my text, of course, because it requires praise beyond words! 😄
