The Sunday TimesGoldilocks may be familiar, but Anthony Browne, the children's laureate, has made the story new in Me and You adding rich interpretation in text and pictures
Helen Ward, TESThe differing styles of illustration implicitly raise issues of who belongs where and the tale as a whole asks many questions about right and wrong
Natasha Harding, The SunAs always Anthony's illustrations are mesmerising
The ScotsmanAlongside the re-telling of a fairytale is a completely different, quite modern story. Anthony Browne's words present one and his pictures the other until, as the book nears its end, the two come together . . . There are so many layers in this story that it will entrance young readers time after time
Anne Faundez, CarouselAnthony Browne has an extraordinary knack of turning a story into so much more . . . Once again, the author extends the boundaries of the picture book with this rich and thought-provoking story
The BooksellerMe and You is a thought provoking, post-modern version on the well-loved fairytale . . . The most
rewarding of picture books
The BookbagIt's the Goldilocks tale from a fresh perspective, but the more you dig, the more Me and You will reveal. It's an utterly gorgeous picture book that works on so so so many levels
Reading ZoneThis is a wonderful re-telling by Anthony Browne of the Goldilocks fairy tale, which Browne gives a modern setting and a contemporary twist . . . The story is beautifully presented with the Bear family's world drawn in bright colours while 'Goldilocks' inhabits a bleak inner city landscape. The ending turns our usual convictions on their head, however, as we are shown it is the grey city world that has the warmth of a real home
Irish examinerThe merging of the fairytale/streetscape ending is a masterstroke
Julia Eccleshare, Lovereading4Kids.co.ukA thought provoking new take on the traditional story of Goldilocks . . . Anthony Browne leaves readers lots to think about
