'Polly Dunbar’s surreal seafaring voyage proves to be a boat not to be missed… It’s gently surreal, in the grand tradition of bizarro children’s picture-book creators such as Maurice Sendak, David McKee and Anthony Browne. While fun from the first pass, it reveals more and more with each reading. Small readers will spend many happy hours unravelling the little details within.' We Love This Book
'Juxtaposes a child's unfettered fantasy life with his safe, everyday existence to powerful effect ... seductive' London Evening Standard
Arthur’s Dream Boat is also a Long Nose Puppet show, we have performed at The National Gallery and many theatres as well as being filmed by BBC Scotland for Authors Live. Watch clips here.
