My favourite books for very young children are Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak and Not Now Bernard by David McKee. -- Michael Rosen Not Now Bernard is THE book of our times * Frank Cottrell-Boyce * Arguably the finest children's books ever written, McKee's clever fable is both a warning to neglectful parents and a very funny story about being ignored. * The i * It's so good! * Adam Buxton * Not Now, Bernard could be the most profound picture book Ive ever read. [ Its] possibly my favourite picture book of all time. It's so powerful, it's so funny, dark - it's everything. That to me is the number one kids book of all time... It's funny to a four year old and meaningful to a 36 year old * Ben Bailey Smith aka Doc Brown *
