This is a book review Bryn & I wrote for the Guardian Family Reviews

A funny story of friendship puzzling on why Mabel and Me are ‘bestest bestest friends’.

There is much to find funny in this book. Me, the mouse, bristles at perceived insults to Mabel. However, it isn’t Mabel that the famous photographer is referring to as a “strange little creature thing”. Bryn worked out the case of mistaken identity early & enjoyed being in on the joke throughout the story.

I loved the rhythm & word play in the book with lovely phrases like ‘a stroll down a strolly street’ & malapropisms such as ‘mind your mannerisms’ The illustrations & typography also carried the wonderful humour of the story.

This is a beautifully crafted book where both the language and illustrations conspire to present a fantastically funny story.
