‘This captivating series of adventures is ideal for those who love whimsical humour’ Guardian, Best Children’s Books of the Year

Written by Carnegie and Costa Award-winning author Sally Gardner and beautifully illustrated throughout by Greenaway-shortlisted artist Chris Mould, Pernickety Boo is the unforgettable story of a very unusual umbrella.

'Hello,' said the umbrella.

'Gosh,' said the boy. The umbrella's handle was carved in the shape of a dog’s head, with a very long snout and a shiny nose and ears that flopped back. 'You can talk.'

'I suppose I can,' said the umbrella.

'Do you have a name?' asked the boy.

'No,' said the umbrella. 'Do I need a name?'

'Yes,' said the small boy. 'You need one for someone to let you in at the front door, and another name to be let out the back door.'

Brought to life by a careless sorcerer, Pernickety Boo is a well-educated umbrella with unexplored magical powers – and after he is left behind on the London Underground by his forgetful creator, Pernickety must find an owner: someone who will truly love him.

So when Pernickety meets young Sylvie Moonshine and is welcomed into her home, he thinks that all of his prayers have been answered. But there are plenty of other people who are also interested in the magical umbrella, and who threaten to separate Pernickety from his beloved Sylvie, unless he can find a way to stop them.

Perfect for fans of A Bear Called Paddington, The Velveteen Rabbit, and Winnie-the-Pooh, this instant classic is a book for the whole family to share.

Perfect
Color: Blue, Size: Square
Just what I needed. The size is perfect as I didn’t want anything too large to place my watches and other accessories inside near the corner of my desk. Its size is essentially 7x7, and the design is sleek compared to other organizer holders. I got the color in blue and it looks stunning with the rest of my setup. I’m unsure about other reviewers, but mine came safely and the leather walls are decently thick, so it’s not too flimsy when buttoned together which holds very securely. There are hole spaces at the bottom corners once assembled, so if you have super small items such as beads or really small jewelry, they could potentially fall out, but most of my items are large enough that won’t be of concern. If you have a wire charger near by, the holes could be used to charge your smartphone inside, which has its own practical usage. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it if you’re on a lookout for a sleek but compact organizer holder, and I personally will consider getting another one in the future for myself for other household belongings.

Quality, Design, Function = 100% Great!
Color: Black Linen
Looks perfect on a lower shelf of living room coffee table. The black outside is classy and the wood top matches the color of my wood coffee table. Sure makes tissue boxes look great! Good that the bottom is magnetic and the box doesn’t slip out if you lift it up. You get what you pay for and this is all great quality. Thanks for such nice addition to our home.

A Tissue Box That Finally Understands the Assignment
Color: Retro
I tested this vintage-style tissue box cover with the same scrutiny I give freeze dryer liners and financial models—and it passed with charm and function. Material & Build: The PU leather has a raised floral relief that mimics carved wood surprisingly well. It’s backed by MDF and lined with non-woven fabric, which makes it both sturdy and easy to wipe clean. I spilled coffee on it (not intentionally), and it didn’t flinch. Functionality: It fits a standard rectangular tissue box and—bless it—completely hides the garish branding and neon graphics that manufacturers seem to think belong in a living room. This cover restores dignity to the humble tissue. Design: It’s waterproof, durable, and doesn’t collapse when tugging out a tissue. The vintage look is intentional, not kitschy. Think “grandmillennial chic” rather than “forgotten attic find.” Accessibility Note: The texture and structure make it easy to locate and use for seniors or anyone with low vision. No sliding around or crushed corners. If you’ve ever looked at your tissue box and thought, “Why must you be like this?”—this cover is your redemption arc. It’s a small upgrade that quietly improves the space and makes you feel like your home is curated, not cluttered.

Love these.
Color: Gray
Never thought I'd "love" a tissue box holder but these are very nice. Weighted do the box doesn't move when you pull a tissue out. Bottom is magnetic, and they don't look cheap. Look well made. Highly recommend!
