“ Charmingly written and gorgeously illustrated, this book ... is a delight...Sarah Davis’ illustrations compliment the text perfectly and bring to life the pace and humour of the story. The characters seem to leap off the page and gallop around your living room”
“ Sarah Davis ...is a gifted illustrator who uses her skills capture the energy and movement of the text, the personality she imbues in each creature giving visual readers much to chuckle about. An utter delight – but be prepared for multiple readings!”
