"The busily beautiful and energetic illustrations of this humorous story will capture the interest and imagination of most children ... A fabulous and fun-filled story that will extend most children's descriptive vocabulary" -- Martine Horvath Early Years Educator "A book to read over and over again. Highly recommended, especially for young animal lovers and grumpy dads" -- Sarah Webb Inis "An enjoyable picture book with a nice, lyrical stuyle to the writing and with lots of humour in both the text and the lively collage illustrations" The School Librarian
