“The fun and fantastic verses by Juliette McIver are always impressive and great to read. While Sarah Davis’s illustrations are just gorgeous.
Destined to be a favourite.”
“ Juliette’s rhyming text is a joy to read and makes the story bounce along... Sarah has the amazing gift of being able to portray animals that look life-like while at the same time having human expressions (just have a look at the front cover to see what I mean). Every page glows with the brightly coloured animals and their crazy antics. ”
