G.E.M. Reviews

I particularly like the fashion style of Dad's yellow boots, and the picture of the children whizzing around Saturn's rings as a birthday party game -- Alison Boyle Nursery World Reminiscent of those cute Sixties cartoons set in space, full of suburban families and high-tech gadgets -- Georgia Metcalfe Daily Mail G.E.M. has real personality and 'hands on hips' attitude -- Rosemary Hetherington Inis The best book on jealousy we've come across My Child
