cover of Claydon was a Clingy Child

'Claydon clings to his mother - to her leg to be precise, for it is there that he feels safest - Claydon's mum is an action woman. Cowell's cheerful, loosely structured pen and watercolour drawings suit the active life led by Claydon's mother, and the relatively minimalist text takes flight on occasion too, to coil itself around the matching illustrations.'
