Aunt Amelia

One of my favourite books of the year from rising star Cobb who missed out on this year's Greenaway but will win it one day. Exquisite illustrations, charming and funny. I love her child's eye view. ― The Bookseller’s Buyers Guide Published On: 2013-08-01 Snuggle up and read them a beautiful illustrated story ― Sunday Times Style Magazine Published On: 2013-10-15 The final image of the children fighting back giggles as they ask for another list next time she visits is a great end to a flawless book. It is one more charming release by Rebecca Cobb, who is something like Aunt Amelia herself with her ability to bring us a bout of joy before disappearing to create the next masterpiece. ― nightlightbooks.wordpress.com Published On: 2013-11-18 Cobb's illustrations ooze colour, noise, wit and warmth with a perfect understanding of what makes little ones laugh out loud. ― Daily Mail Published On: 2013-12-19 The simple, funny story and Cobb's scribbly illustrations are full of charm and wit. ― The Irish Times Published On: 2013-12-19 Part of the joke of Rebecca Cobb's naughty Aunt Amelia is that nobody even mentions the fact that its heroine is a crocodile ― The Daily Telegraph Published On: 2013-11-26 Charming, funny and warm ― Newcastle Evening Chronicle Published On: 2013-12-09
