Reviews

"This extremely lovely picture book lends itself to tonnes of re-readings, and there is more to think about each time" -- The Spinoff

"The story rolls back and forth like a good natured tug-of-war with the ever-increasing cast of characters and general chaos of a busy family home."

"This is an inclusive, witty and warm picture book to delight any reader, that we consider should become a favourite choice in the bedtime reading selection."
