When I Woke Up I Was a Hippopotamus Reviews

Ross Collins' striking illustrations combine a Winnie-the-Pooh cuddle factor with a dark imagination reminiscent of Tenniel's drawings for Alice. * TES *
There isn't an illustrator in Britain who uses a more intelligent visual storytelling language. * TES *
Tom MacRae is such a talented and sensitive writer. I love this book. I only wish he'd written it thirty years earlier then I could have loved it as a child. -- Matthew Cain * Culture Editor, Channel 4 News *
A wonderful story about the potential pitfalls of an over-active imagination. * The Bookbag *
Great fun. * Angels & Urchins *
