"This is a beautiful book with painstaking, lifelike illustrations that pull you into the story from the start - And I love the way the exploration collides here with a celebration of the rapport between a grandmother and her grandson: family, at its best, the ultimate tonic." The Observer "Atmosphere illustrations - A very special story about the power of the imagination." Parents in Touch "You feel as though you were there. And you could be. Maybe. Bookwitch "It is a great pleasure to recommend another title by the same award-winning author. I would hazard a guess that Look Back! will be just as popular with a slightly older readership at KS1 and early KS2." The School Librarian
