Jennifer Jones Won't Leave Me Alone Reviews
"A clever, funny and tender take on (very) young love. Layton's exuberant, scratchy line drawings, with clever photographic collages, are witty and charming" Financial Times "Beautifully styled, witty ... Both children and adults will enjoy the humour of the story that is bright and funny ... I highly recommend this book for your own little Valentine!" Eastern Daily Press "A sweet, funny tale of the boy-girl dynamic, written in jovial rhyme" Junior "Neal Layton's sketchy illustrations capture lots of contrasting emotions and draw the reader in to Frieda Wishinsky's sweet rhyming story" -- Jane E Sandell The Scotsman "A very funny book... Heart-warming" Bournemouth Daily Echo
