Critics Review
Whether it’s omniscient pens, infallible goalies, zombie beavers or exploding picnics, the 10 tightly focused stories in this brightly illustrated 7+ collection consist of just “the best bits” – action-packed, fast-paced, inventive and hilarious. – Imogen Russell Williams * The Guardian *
I love Good Bits for its punchy, fantastically entertaining, suspenseful stories. They work so well as an imaginative jumping-off point for kids, but are also entirely satisfying in themselves. The illustrations are zingy and engaging, working seamlessly with the text. Teachers love it and so do kids. I can’t think of another book for this age group which does the same thing - this is courageous and inventive publishing from an imprint really hitting its stride. – Margaret Wallace-Jones * The Alligator’s Mouth *
