Anna Walker has created another gem with
her beautiful Picture Book titled Mr
Huff. The emotions that accompany a
bad day are explored gently with lovely hints of humour. The hope of a better
tomorrow is very touching. Here is what Joseph (aged 6) had to say.
“A Boy is sad in the beginning because
annoying things happened to him. A cloud (Mr Huff) that is made of sadness and
worries starts to follow him. Mr Huff gets bigger and bigger and bigger! Then
the boy feels happy and the cloud gets smaller. My favourite part was when Mr
Huff follows the boy into the toilet and when he is in the bathtub too! I also
like Mr Huff under the bed because Mr Huff won’t go away! The best bit is when
Mr Huff is very small and the clouds outside the window go away and the boy can
go out to play with his friends.”
