Reviews

Beautifully illustrated and full of the kinds of visual surprises kids love. -- What's On (July 1993) Inkpen's pale watercolours against a white background give a cool, calm feel, while the use of pull-out pages and sequences of pictures give an animated feel. Beginner readers will be able to tackle the simple text, but it's a great story to share with all ages. -- Junior, July 2000
