Review: 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 *
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 *
As always Anthony's illustrations are mesmerising -- Natasha Harding * The Sun *
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 *
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 *
