Reviews

'Honey's confidently rendered watercolors bring the liveliness and mayhem of this large diverse family to life, while her spare, often onomatopoeic text gives it added sparkle...A happy, lively story that celebrates the idea of family diversity even as it introduces readers to some of Australia's fauna.' Kirkus Reviews
