Amazon.co.uk Review
Willy is different. He likes to read books and listen to music; he's no good at sports, although he tries; and wherever he goes he gets laughed at. But when he's threatened by the horrible Buster Nose he really comes into his own.

As with so many of Anthony Browne's books, this story works on several levels, with sophisticated pictures perfectly complementing the simple narrative. Within the story there is a serious message, but it is also a humorous tale and young children will delight in Willy's defeat of the bully. --Philippa Reece

Review
"* "Browne can't help including his trademark surreal touches... but he also effectively conveys the sheer physical oppressiveness that bullies exert over their victims. Funny and thought-provoking at the same time." Book Trusted"
