Mary Murphy is the author-illustrator of Panda Foo and the New Friend, I Kissed the Baby!, and How Kind! She lives in Dublin, Ireland.
The springtime feeling of UTTERLY LOVELY ONE comes from Mary
Murphy's combination of comical animals, deliciously Easter-eggy
colors and endearingly affirmative writing. This
confection...positively demands that you cuddle the small child to
whom you are reading it.
—Wall Street Journal
Infused with warmth and affection, much like the sound of a
mother's voice. A nice choice to share at bedtime or cuddled close,
this provides a good introduction to animal babies for the youngest
children, who will recognize the differing fledglings as being not
unlike themselves.
—Kirkus Reviews
Murphy creates a safe, conflict-free jungle habitat, reassuring
children that in a world of strange but lovely things, they remain
the loveliest in the eyes of their parents.
—Publishers Weekly
