An endearing tale with the usual Mick Inkpen appeal. -- The Children's Bookseller Echoing the theme of the children's classic The Velveteen Rabbit, Baggy Brown reminds children that the best-loved toys are usually the oldest and shabbiest, and that being scruffy and worn is a sign of having been loved. It's a simple, heartwarming story about an old bear and a little princess who becomes friends with the son of a factory worker and my son has asked for it every night since I brought it home (and twice fallen asleep clutching it). -- The Observer Utterly charming! As is Mick Inkpen's BAGGY BROWN (Hodder, GBP10.99), the story of a teddy that goes astray and is found by a boy with a destiny! -- Daily Express charming new picture book -- Suffolk Free Press A warm-hearted fairy tale with, of course, a happy-ever-after ending. -- The Scotsman Well illustrated with touching polot...still retains that Inkpen magic, especially the front cover, which makes you want to hold onto and hug the book forever. -- My Child
