Reviews

Delightful, simple yet thought provoking. * Paper Plus Masterton *
The colours are so vibrant and rich I can't stop opening the book to look at them... If you are going to buy a book for your children's shelf - or for the child in your heart - let it be this * NZ Bookslovers *
We all agreed the illustrations in the book are great... At the very beginning, morepork asks us to find on each page: a grasshopper, a ladybird and a moth. This of course becomes a race with each turn of a new page. * The Sapling *
