We know this is Harry's first appearance but, there is no doubt we could start to see him return several times!
Graeme Logan, Radio Saltire (Presenter)

Chris Cowlin has written a super new book for kids that is bang up to date and just fits into today's world so much. Most little lads, and a lot of lasses too, dream of becoming a footballer, and perhaps one other thing throughout the years has always been a big attraction for boys - getting into mud! I know I would have loved these stories when I was a little fella and I have no doubt today's children will love this story too, Harry Loves Mud, a children's book that is just right for the present time.
Philip Solomon, Wolverhampton City Radio 101.8 FM (Presenter)
