Reviews of Dominic Dormouse Goes to Town

‘The class loved every word, hated it when I had to break off the story at the end of the lesson. Now we’ve read “Dominic”, we’re doing a dormouse project.’  (Mrs “Mich” Maflin, Stepney teacher)

‘A wonderful read. Anthony Wall has acquitted himself brilliantly.’  (Julian Graff, journalist)

‘Thoroughly enjoyed. Hid myself away from my family so I could finish reading it in peace.’  (Hackney social worker)

‘Vivid and exciting. I especially appreciated the interactions between the different animals. If animals can get on, why wouldn’t humans? Graphically conveyed what could be achieved if people put their minds to it. A thought-provoking children’s novel.’  (Mrs Pat Senior, Children’s Librarian, Whitechapel Library) 

‘It reminds me of stories read over the radio. Very graphic.’' (Alan Everett, Stoke Newington local government officer)

‘Beautifully written. Excellent.’ (Sonia Miller, Liaison Officer, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children)

‘Delightful... Will appeal to children of varying ages as well as their parents... A multi-layered morality tale... This stand-out book, exciting and educational, stays in the mind.’  (5 Star Award, Author-Publisher Review)

‘Dominic Dormouse Goes to Town has a strong educational theme dealing with natural history, relationships and tolerance. The mouse hero, Dominic, embarks on an action-packed odyssey when he leaves his home in the country to visit town. There, he meets a variety of animals such as cats, rats and mice - many of which are hostile at first. However, trusting Dominic is free of prejudice and doesn’t understand why creatures of different sorts shouldn’t mix and be friends. Dominic’s courage, patience, curiosity and goodwill work wonders as he becomes involved in this timely tale.’ (Watch, junior section of the Royal Society for Nature Conservation)

‘Utterly charming.’ (Debra Isaac, writer)
