    Joanne Harris described the book as, "Really, rather quite good!"

    Thanks for creating a link Joanne, and Jo's site if you wish to peruse this, is: The Joanne Harris Website - Links

        
        Sean McManus free lance journalist and prolific author of several books: including University of Death, www.sean.co.uk described the book, Quirky Claus of course (am I stating the obvious?) and the Sample Pages as: "Great - really interesting piece of work!"  He has also written a book on website design, and given me a few pointers; so if
this page looks a little dodgy - you know who to blame!  :0)

 
      Even Dom Joly at the Ilkley Literary Festival snatched a copy for his own kids - he seemed to like but where is that illusive call Mr Dom?

      He's probably after all - still stranded in that jungle somewhere
dining on snail ears and the like! Do snails have ears? If they don't, they most certainly should have! I mean, what else can they attach their IPods to...?

      
     I have to say I liked your ideas for kids stories greatly - the concept was as good - if not better than in the published children's books my kids already have (and they have quite a library going on there.

     Both my children spend quite a lot of time reading and as a family we are always in and out of bookshops; so we think we are quite discerning about what is and what isn't a good read or plot. 

     Have also shown your ideas to my young nephew, who is 5 years of age and they all thought your ideas were good. There also seems to be
a lot of scope for follow-ons.

      “I like the idea of Quirky Claus, especially the sequel idea      The Revenge Of; the illustrations particularly add life and
vibrancy to the story! 

     "This is a fantastic idea, I believe the book has genuine appeal for not only my own child, but for many - if not in reality most children, and has every reason to be a real hit!”

      ”I have spent today with a play group and read to them the story "Quirky Claus" to say they thought the story was great was is an understatement! They relished the illustrations as well. I hope that you take the time to read these stories as I believe that they provide a useful service”

       The grandkids, especially the 6yr old, were very enthralled
and found the book interesting and also informative. They would be an asset to any child's personal library. Also, the schoolchildren who I have been able to read as a teacher, found them to also to be extremely interesting and enjoyable! 

       I wish you all the best in your efforts to get this,   
and hopefully many others published. I look forward to buying them for the kids.

“I found this a really good idea, the wacky adventures of Quirky Claus!"

      "Would love to see more please???”

    George (9) and Thomas (6) read the stories you mailed them, both of them said "It was really good," and they laughed a lot about the story of Quirky Claus, especially the bit about the angry armadillo!

    George was interested in how the Timothy Toucan character would develop... but I told him he'd have to wait for the next books.

    Thomas said he had really enjoyed the story as he loves Quirky.

    The boys say to get cracking writing the sequels and when they get published they want autographed copies, as they think
they are your critics now!!!
