what critics are saying...

“Bagtastic!”

    “Pinktabulous!”

    “Pinkalicious!”

    “All Pinkerful and Pinkly!”


no, really...

“My daughter fell in love with it at first sight... a highly imaginative story with irresistible characters... deserves to be a big hit.”

THE GUARDIAN, LONDON


“Stylishly illustrated... recounts the hilariously surreal adventure of a collection of toys, sneaking in some satire on designer culture. You’ll end up singing the (very silly) Handbag Song yourself.”

THE TIMES, LONDON


“Purse-loving gals will be unable to resist Handbag Friends”

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY


“Buy this book instantly! It guarantees you a sweet, hilarious, musical time with your child that will banish all sadness...The language occupies its own universe, the illustrations are totally organic to the text - a perfect literary marriage...This one, bordering on picture book genius...will become a classic. To me, it harbors greatness because I, too, am a children's book practitioner, and it passes the true test: I'm abject that I wasn't clever enough to create such a kiddie masterpiece.”
