(Kirkus UK)īrowne's exceptional out-of-time story - about a visit to the neighborhood park by his familiar gorillas - is told from four perspectives. There is much to think about in this wonderfully illustrated story. The story is told in four voices, each parent and child giving their own perspective on the same event. At the same time an unemployed father takes his daughter Smudge and their scruffy mongrel Albert to the same park. this book will last a long time * The Times * A genuinely thought-provoking read, and, as usual with Anthony Browne's work, the illustrations, with their surreal references draw the reader in * Sunday Telegraph *Ī well-dressed mother takes her son Charles for a walk in the park with their pedigree Labrador and worries when the dog is chased by a scruffy-looking mongrel and she sees Charles talking to a rough looking child. Anthony Browne first editions are likely to become collector's items * Daily Telegraph * An instant classic * Financial Times * The haunting Voices in the Park by Anthony Browne turns a simple tale and a visually stunning series of surreal pictures. Browne's picures of the city streets and the park are a joy to look at. Short-listed for LA Kate Greenaway Medal 1999 Short-listed for Kate Greenaway Medal 1999
