Me and You

The merging of the fairytale/streetscape ending is a masterstroke

Irish examiner

Anthony Browne has an extraordinary knack of turning a story into so much more . . . Once again, the author extends the boundaries of the picture book with this rich and thought-provoking story

Anne Faundez, Carousel

Goldilocks may be familiar, but Anthony Browne, the children's laureate, has made the story new in Me and You adding rich interpretation in text and pictures

The Sunday Times

It's the Goldilocks tale from a fresh perspective, but the more you dig, the more Me and You will reveal. It's an utterly gorgeous picture book that works on so so so many levels

The Bookbag

A thought provoking new take on the traditional story of Goldilocks . . . Anthony Browne leaves readers lots to think about

Julia Eccleshare, Lovereading4Kids.co.uk

This is a wonderful re-telling by Anthony Browne of the Goldilocks fairy tale, which Browne gives a modern setting and a contemporary twist . . . The story is beautifully presented with the Bear family's world drawn in bright colours while 'Goldilocks' inhabits a bleak inner city landscape. The ending turns our usual convictions on their head, however, as we are shown it is the grey city world that has the warmth of a real home

Reading Zone

Me and You is a thought provoking, post-modern version on the well-loved fairytale . . . The most rewarding of picture books

The Bookseller

The differing styles of illustration implicitly raise issues of who belongs where and the tale as a whole asks many questions about right and wrong

Helen Ward, TES

Alongside the re-telling of a fairytale is a completely different, quite modern story. Anthony Browne's words present one and his pictures the other until, as the book nears its end, the two come together . . . There are so many layers in this story that it will entrance young readers time after time

The Scotsman

As always Anthony's illustrations are mesmerising

Natasha Harding, The Sun

Anthony Browne offers a new perspective on an old tale

Jane Doonan, School Library Association

Me and You is a wonderful example of the power of illustrations and how hey can play as important a role as words
