Reviews for Greek Tales: The Boy Who Cried Horse
Hilarious... with energy and invention. Deary has a remarkable ability to conjure up vivid characters and scene-settings within a brief narrative.
Books for Keeps (September 2007)
'Despite the moral it's a good introduction to an historical event and very funny with lots of action. Children will love the characters... There is lots of dialogue and some lovely evocative imagery too. Highly reccommended.'
