"Possibly my favourite picture book of all time. It's so powerful, it's so funny, dark - it's everything. That to me is the number one kids book of all time... It's funny to a four year old and meaningful to a 36 year old."
Ben Bailey Smith aka Doc Brown
"My favourite books for very young children are Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak and Not Now Bernard by David McKee."
