A must for children drawn to corny jokes and bad puns - and isn't that most children?... This is a book that could stimulate all sorts of imaginative freewheeling writing for children. - Reading Time, volume 45

The author has a child's ear for word sound and an eye for nutty humour. Clare Mackie's crackling illustrations add verve and vigour to each page. - Junior Education, October 2001

'an enjoyable book which might stimulate children's own inclinations to mess about with language. - Books for Keeps, no.128, May 2001

some great poems for reading aloud . . . The illustrations are zany and complement the poems . . . Readers who are already aficionados of Michael Rosen's work will welcome this new collection. - School Librarian, Swindon, Jul 01

Rosen's book is beautifully produced and the bee-jokes that run through the illustrations are a real delight. - Armadillo 3 no. 2 summer 2001
