Review of The Prince of Peas

"A superb twist on Hans Christian Andersen's The Princess and the Pea, this has a royal rabbit looking for her prince. But just when she dares to hope for true happiness, her potential prince fails the pea test. As clever as the rhyming story is, it's the stunning collage illustrations that make this book special. Anne Letuffe creates a delightfully detailed and whimsical world." - The Age  22 Nov 2009

Review of 3 Little Culottes

Click here to download the review (PDF)

Already a favourite in France, this English edition about three pigs – Lucette, Paulette and Maria-Antoinette – who lose their bloomers is tres adorable. Forget the standard Three Little Pigs version, this is much more entertaining as each tiny porker goes wee wee wee all over the French countryside in search of their not-so-small smalls. Told in rhyming verse (“Early next morning – and this is quite weird, their precious culottes have all disappeared!”), the language is playful and inventive while Anne Letuffe’s collage paint and fabric  illustrations add a rich second layer to the story. A delightful read for twos and up.  -The Age 29 November 2009
