BOOK REVIEW: Ottoline and the Purple Fox

I've been a fan of Chris Riddell's illustration work for many years now (and was lucky enough to see him in action, alongside Neil Gaiman, at Hay Festival in 2015 - such a treat!), but reviewing his latest Ottoline book was the first time I actually got around to checking out his writing too. 

Ottoline and the Purple Fox is the fourth book in Riddell's quirky series, and the Children's Laureate proved why he is such a big name in the kidlit industry. The delightful story is funny, interesting, heartfelt and meaningful all at once, with gorgeous illustrations to match.
