Early Years Educator


 
'[Daydream Dan] is a debut picture book from an exciting new talent.  A delightful book that both parent and child will warm to…  It's brilliant!'

'Daydream Dan is the first picture book by author/illustrator Sarah Garson and I urge you to get your hands on a copy. Small children will love being in on the joke as Dan Moon (who is known for being rather a daydreamer) tries to warn his teacher that something extraordinary is happening...

The dreamy colours have an incredible vibrancy which makes for some strikingly beautiful, as well as humorous, illustrations. I loved this book.'

'Before I had made it half way through, [Daydream Dan] became my favourite children's book of 2009 to date. When I turned the last page, it cemented that position... Another aspect of the book's wondrous charm is how the illustrations anticipate each other. There is almost always a hint as to the new excitement just over the page, which makes for compulsive reading...A triumph of inspirational children's writing...This book is highly recommended.'

'The great illustrations and modern rhyming text are both simple and wonderfully clever, making [One, Two, Cockatoo] very popular.'

'Following in the tradition of classics such as Where the Wild Things Are and Not Now, Bernard, Daydream Dan celebrates flights of childish imagination which adults ignore at their peril...The humour of both text and illustrations is gentle allowing the pleasing joke to be lightly made and delicately left open to interpretation.'

Julia Eccleshare, Children's editor for The Guardian


 
'[Daydream Dan] is a wonderful picture book, ideal for sharing with a child or for telling to a group of children; Sarah Garson’s illustrations complement the text perfectly and contain a wealth of detail which enhances the story...'

The School Librarian magazine


 
'A domestic comedy wittily exploring a child's night-time fears, The Grump also captures the kind of disturbance familiar to families with small children... Sarah Garson's boldly drawn but detailed and comforting illustrations bring the home to life, providing a safe place to explore fears of an intruder.'
