Review
“Not Now Bernard is THE book of our times” (Frank Cottrell-Boyce)
“It’s so good!” (Adam Buxton)
“Possibly my favourite picture book of all time. It’s so powerful, it’s so funny, dark – it’s everything. That to me is the number one kids book of all time… It’s funny to a four year old and meaningful to a 36 year old” (Ben Bailey Smith aka Doc Brown)
“Well-loved classic… Little ones will love (and recognise all too soon!) the oft-repeated ‘Not now, Bernard’, leaving older children and their parents to appreciate the black humour and static, expressive illustrations” (Guardian, The Best New Children’s Books supplement)
“Very funny, written very dryly and is a sobering lesson to all us busy parents who sometimes get distracted!” (Lucy Owen, Western Mail Cardiff)
