Critics Review
Full of the warmth of friends and family, the basics of the beach and the joy of a simple holiday home. * National Library of New Zealand, Best Children’s Books of 2023 *
An ideal bedtime story, where every word counts. * The Source, Magpies *
Adults will enjoy this one just as much as the kids… At the Bach is one of those books that will open up the chance to have a natter with your kids about holidays they have loved, what the beach means to them and dream a little about staying in a bach just like the one on its pages. This is another beautiful addition to the stack of books that Joy has created over the years and it is one that, I think, will be a cherished favourite…. * The Sapling *
