- Praise for Leo's Map of Monsters: The Armoured Goretusk: Leo's adventure is great fun and romps along at a pleasing pace [. . .]. Children will [. . .] enjoy the Top Trumps style fact files at the end of the story- perfect for firing the imagination and encouraging children to create their own. Illustrated throughout, the black and white pictures are excellent and really add to the story, making the book appealing and accessible. - North Somerset Teachers' Book Awards
- Praise for Leo's Map of Monsters: The Armoured Goretusk: In addition to being gripped by Kris Humphrey's story young solo readers will love the monstrous 'zoological' and 'geological' information at the back of the book, and be excited to learn this is just the first of Leo's adventures. Pete Williamson's illustrations add further tension and sinister shivers to the telling. - Red Reading Hub
