Amazon.co.uk Review
When Willy, literally, bumps into Hugh they both apologise profusely and soon become fast friends. When Willy is bothered by Buster the bully, Hugh is on hand to defuse the situation; and when Hugh is frightened by a "terrifying creature", Willy is able to return the favour. Anthony Browne's colourful illustrations tell their own story--the picture of the friends gazing at the humans in the cages at the zoo, for instance, speaks volumes. This apparently simple story of friendship works on many levels as Anthony Browne's humour and sympathy for the apparent underdog shines through in both text and illustrations. (Ages 3 and over) A Big Book edition of this story is also available.

Customer Reviews:
An excellent book about bullying, friendship and appearances January 28, 2002
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
This book is excellent for young children and children just starting school. It reveals how it feels to be bullied and why people bully. An insightful view into the child`s world showing that it is not just size that counts - how can a giant be afraid of a spider?! and that friendship is based on more than just appearance.
