Reviews
- *** Shortlisted for the Portsmouth Book Awards 2024 *** -
- Featured in the Sunday Times Best Books for Children 2023: "A teeming, colourful paperback picture book about a city child's relationship to wildness, in the streets and in his dreams, with a faint echo of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are." - The Sunday Times
- "This bright and busy picture book will delight young readers with its plethora of gorgeously illustrated animals, and Joe’s adventure into his imaginary wild space." - BookTrust
- "A joyous celebration of nature in urban environments and a child's imagination." - LoveReading4Kids
- "Enjoy a riot of colour, a boy on a wild journey, and a menagerie of the most amazing animals in a dazzlingly creative and joyful picture book from acclaimed author and illustrator Thomas Docherty." - Pam Norfolk, The Lancashire Post
- "Richly imagined too are Thomas Docherty's illustrations for this magical story. Young children (and adults) will love poring over the multitude of gently humorous details in every scene. The final page invites readers to go outside and search for the wild things in their own city or town; let's hope they take up the challenge." - Jill Bennett, Red Reading Hub
- "Into the Wild would be a lovely book to share at story-time with children in Early Years, Y1 or Y2... With its message of finding, loving and caring for nature, it would be a great springboard for a project about biodiversity, habitats and conservation." - Gethin Wallace, Just Imagine
- "Each page bursts with colour and intricate details, captivating young readers and immersing them in the world of the story. From flamingos flying past viaducts, to foxes at play, the visuals not only complement the narrative but also add depth and richness to the reading experience." - Tricia Adams, The School Librarian
