"This is vintage Graham - compassionate, warm and engaging, with old-fashioned English-style illustrations in keeping with the traditional nursery rhyme theme. And, as with all of Graham’s books, at its heart is family and community...This is an endearing story, with a shy and retiring heroine and a charming ambience." Australian Book Review
"Bob Graham has done it again. He has created another utterly charming, whimsical story that will captivate children and adults alike. 'Jethro Byrde, Fairy Child' won itself a following and 'Dimity Dumpty' deserves to be read, re-read and savoured...This delightful story will have children coming away with the knowledge that it’s alright for them to do things differently." Bookseller+Publisher
"This beautifully designed picture book is both gentle and funny. The poetic text is excellent, full of imaginative imagery, with a vocabulary that is both interesting and entertaining. The delicate pen and watercolour illustrations in luminous pastel shades contain delightful detail, and are full of fun and character. Vintage Graham -- what more can you say?" Reading Time
"Bob Graham creates a masterful picture book by breathing life into an old nursery rhyme and inventing an intricate universal story that is at once heartfelt and amusing." The Weekend Australian
"He has many imitators, but just as if you want a hug from the one you love, a substitute simply won’t do the trick -- Graham remains the best proponent of expressing authentic affection for the crumples closeness leaves on families. Children will love 'Dimity Dumpty' and parents will crack up reading it to them." The Sydney Morning Herald
"A new picture book by Bob Graham is a cause for rejoicing and 'Dimity Dumpty' is certain to be warmly received -- illustration, storyline and expression are all deeply satisfying… 'Dimity Dumpty' has immediate visual and narrative appeal, and the flow of the phrasing lingers in the mind."
