REVIEWS

Melbourne's Child (Veronicah Larkin) Nov 2006: ...charming text perfectly matched with the illustrations by highly experienced Australian artist Anne Spudvilas, who once again uses her characteristic watercolour style to great effect. The exquisite watery images convey a sense of all things nautical, and young children are sure to find delight in the alluring details on each page. From start to finish, Ebi's Boat is simply beautiful. Highly recommended for ages 2 to 5.

Magpies (Jo Coward) Nov 2006: ...gentle story of boyhood dreams and cross-generational friendship. It is lovingly told and sympathetically illustrated by Anne Spudvilas. The endpapers enhance the idea of childhood as another country with its own particular aspirations, depicting high blue skies whisped with faint white clouds and evoking summer days.
