REVIEW:
Famed for their original collaboration on the Gruffalo, it’s always a delight to see new projects that these two work on. Here in this, the first title in the Tales from Acorn Woods series is a delightful colourful and unique story where each of the authors talents bring it to the fore. Axels unique artwork is bright, its outstanding and it is instantly recognisable. Likewise the same with Julia’s story telling. Add to this a some wonderfully hidden surprises within and it’s a book that will entertain for many rereads. Great stuff.

REVIEW:
As a fan of the two author’s I really just had to own this second book, not just because it had their unique brand of art and writing but because there was a surprise around every corner and a story to entertain as well as enthuse. Back that up with a lot of fun, some really bright colours and you have a tale that will be read time and again. A great addition to the series.

REVIEW:
Like the other titles in the series, Donaldson and Schefflers talents bring the story to the reader’s imagination in a montage of bright colours and wonderful verbal rhythms which allows the young reader the chance to learn to love story time. It’s wonderfully constructed with hidden surprises within the pages as well as a well thought out arc that will please old and young alike which makes this a wonderful addition to the Tales from Acorn Wood series. Great stuff.

Lift the flaps and join frog, squirrel and mole for bear's special surprise! Other books in the Acorn Wood series include: Fox's Socks ; Hide-and-Seek Pig ; and, Rabbit's Nap .
REVIEW:
Perhaps the weakest of the four books released so far but still entertaining. With surprises hidden within every double page, unique artwork as well as a wonderful story telling voice it will keep your young reader amused and be demanded for rereads. It is well done, the two authors keep the piece flowing but at the end of the day its just not as catchy as the previous two titles (Hide and Seek Pig and Fox’s Socks.) So get this one last for now.
