MEDIA REVIEWS
A picture book that seems simple but gets richer every time you look at it...Cobb's illustrations capture the joy of childhood; between them,she and the Children's Laureate have made a book that works like magic. - Nicolette Jones The Sunday Times The Paper Dolls was picked as a top summer read in the Metro.The selectors included George Hanratty from Tales on Moon Lane bookshop and Katherine Woodfine from BookTrust. metro.co.uk Rebecca Cobb's beautifully drawn and colourful illustrations are absolutely charming...I don't want to spoil the ending,but I can say that the inherent message of the story,that nothing is truly destroyed once it becomes a memory,left us both feeling surprisingly contented! muffandteacake.co.uk
