Kinds words Simon and yes a fair bit of love went into this tale.
Wow ! This an utter stunner!. “The Dictionary Story” by @OliverJeffers and @samwinston_ is a brilliantly funny and chaotic tour de force. It’s playful and wonderful. It’s full of brilliant hilarious detail, every page offers something new. Top drawer! #PicturebookPage
