'Certainly on two fronts, Lowes's book is invaluable. How her children relate to stories and pictures, and how this changes over time, are superbly documented. Reasons for why particular images or stories are enjoyed or discarded are convincingly provided. This information truly is a gold mine.' - Books for Keeps
