One of the most delightful, endearing, original children's books ever!, - Rated
If you have a young daughter (or neice, grandchild, friend) - round 5 to 9 - or if she's extra, adorably silly, maybe she could be 10 or 11 - buy this book instantly! It guarantees you a sweet, hilarious, musical time with your child that will banish all sadness, patches of picque, ambivalence about where this world seems to be heading. The language occupies its own universe, the illustrations are totally organic to the text - a perfect literary marriage. Both have been whelped by two brillianty funny English women who instinctively intuit what little girls will love. No miracle, certainly, since it's likely that they were themselves once little girls who responded with unconditional love to ineffably fabulous books. This one, bordering on picture book genius (I deal in understatement) will become a classic. To me, it harbors greatness because I, too, am a children's book practitioner, and it passes the true test: I'm abject that I wasn't clever enough to create such a kiddie masterpiece.

a great gift - Rated
This wonderful book is a favourite of every little girl I have bought it for (and that's quite a few now).
There are plenty of excellent and funny illustrations for your little one to look at while you read the marvellous adventures of the handbag friends.
What's more it's a 56 page story and to my mind that's great value for money.

Have just seen this book in the shop and bought it for my niece. She loves it. Its funny and sparky and the pictures are great and colourful. I love the Handbag Friends! The only thing is, we have to sing the Handbag song over and over and over and over again! Get singing!
