It's all very charming without ever going anywhere near twee; the drawing is elegant and witty, but simple enough to make children want to copy it...Sarah MacIntyre's writing delights children and keeps grown-ups chuckling, too.

I was delightedly surprised with this book full of comic stips as the pictures where cleaverly drawn and the text strong, thought provoking and funny.This book is not just for small children. I think it is also for adults too as I loved it! The drawings are cute whilst being clever.
My Child

Vern & Lettuce is a great introduction to comics for young readers. The style is clear and easy to follow for those not used to comic format, and the humorous stories will entertain the young readers and have them hooked. But this is also a really enjoyable read for devoted fans of the genre!

...my day was made so much the better for having read the comic adventures of Vern and Lettuce. The illustrations with their pastel colour tones have a beautiful simplicity to them, yet a closer look hows just how much each panel has been lovingly detailed. And unlike some books in this genre, the appeal of this book is not purely aesthetic as Sarah McIntyre also possesses a great deal of skill with words; her chuckle-inducing writing fits the images perfectly and makes this a book that will put a smile on the face of all its readers, from young children to grumpy old men and women.
