Praise for Three By the Sea

This is yet more proof of Grey's knack for telling stories with beautiful emotional depth. A reassuring read.

Mini Grey's beautifully illustrated story improves with each reading as the stranger's mission and legacy becomes more intriguing - is he good or bad? A lovely book to open up discussion with little ones who like a bith of depth to their bedtime reading.
