Reviews

  • A delight from start to finish

    Guardian

  • What a treat! . . . As always, Blake's familiar - but ever fresh - illustrations are packed with energy, humour and detail. You will not mind one bit being asked to share it over and over again

    Rowan Stanfield, Carousel

  • Quentin Blake shows he is still a master of his craft in Angelica Sprocket's Pockets, which contains everything from kitchen sinks to alligators. Perfect for aged three-plus

    Rachel Carlyle, Sunday Express

  • A delightful romp through the English language

    Junior

  • Quentin Blake's illustrations are, as always, full of character and characters . . . Energetic, colourful and playful, it's a delight to read . . . that may just leave you wondering if you could be making better use of your own pockets

    Daniel Hahn, Ultimate Book Guide Blog

Matilda by Roald Dahl
