The BBC gave the Feature Creature a mention:


"Among the most spectacular events to be staged in the UK (for World Book Day) was the mounting of a giant helium filled model at London's Tate Modern museum. The model showed a pair of eyes and six metre long lips reading out loud".

as did Lycos News Channel & London Tonight:

"The promotion is part of a range of events held across the country to mark the biggest ever World Book Day. Perhaps the most spectacular is the giant helium filled model of a pair of eyes and six metre long lips seen reading out loud at London's Tate Modern museum."
