Reviews
Take an amazing trip across space and time to discover just how special YOU are! Bestselling author Shane Hegarty and award-winning illustrator Ben Mantle combine their talents on this big, beautiful picture book which puts every young reader firmly in the frame. Written with Hegarty's sparkling sense of fun and brimming with Mantle's bold and colourful artwork, The One and Only You is a glorious celebration of individuality. In this whole wide world of people and animals, and plants and flowers, and oceans and lakes, and so, so many things, there is still only one you. With lessons for little ones about cherishing just who they are, and illustrations full of depth and rich detail, this is a joyful reading journey for all the family to share! -- Pam Norfolk * Yorkshire & Lancashire Evening Post *
