Reviews for Barrington of Bon Accord

“I love the main character of the story and that he finds the people things difficult....I also love that it is leading up to Christmas."
Ruby, aged 11.

“A good read and very funny. Amazing illustrations. Once you start you just can't stop."
Joshua, aged 10.

“I loved the fun and silliness. I enjoyed the descriptions of the other characters from Barrington's viewpoint, eg ‘the Mum person' and ‘the Hairy Dad person'."
Willoughby, aged 9.

“His mad, batty adventures at Bon Accord made me giggle so much I wished he lived at my house! I loved this story so much I read it from cover to cover without stopping!"
Anna, aged 10.

“Somehow Catherine Starmer’s delightful tale penetrates into our own real and imagined childhoods as she draws us into the chaos and escapades of family life through the eyes of Barrington and little Alice who adopts him.
Reminiscent of Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin, this book, with its beautiful hand drawn illustrations, will spark the imagination of any child with a love of animals.”
