Observer
«The lovely thing about Rosen's writing is that it is rooted in the reality of his own post-war childhood - you can smell the matzo bray his father makes as a treat when his mother is out, hear the wheels squeak on his go-kart, sense the thrill of him and his 10-year-old friend Mart on holiday climbing the Sugar Loaf mountain and crossing from Wales into England with their trousers down.»
Guardian
«Throughout his career, Rosen has inspired children and adults to fall in love with reading.»
Independent
«A key lesson for children and adults alike.»
Hackney Citizen
«An enjoyable read with much humour.»
