When a Zeeder Met a Xyder - Softcover

"Doyle's verse text has a satisfying rhythm that sustains lines of various lengths and rhyme schemes, as if demonstrating in its very structure that variety can be harmonious" (The Sunday Times)

"This is a lovely verse story, with a neat ending . . . What really sets it apart are Joel Stewart's delightful illustrations" (Daily Telegraph)

"My heart was won over by Malachy Doyle's When a Zeeder Met a Xyder . . . Illustrator Joel Stewart delightfully captures this quirky tale of two lonely souls in search of a friend. Doyle's words dance and the story is a joy to read aloud. The rhythm is reminiscent of a Dr. Seuss text . . . I echo the Xyder's cry, "whoopy-dee!"'" (Irish Times)

"In this deliciously sweet picture book with its quirky illustrations, young readers will meet a pair of characters whom they will find it hard not to fall in love with. For a time we wonder if they will ever properly 'find' one another but thankfully things work out just as they should" (Marya Jansen-Gruber Through the Looking Glass)

"It's fun! It has rhythm and rhyme . . . wonderful humour in the written text" (Write Away!)
