“The perfect marriage of rhyme and pictures … the delightful repetition and gentle humour are matched with wonderfully detailed illustrations that reveal more on each reading. A joy from start to finish.” The Daily Mail
“There’s huge warmth in every word, every drawing… An irresistible delight” Financial Times
