Reviews:
‘a hilarious adventure through language and word-play that is bound to leave you in stitches of laughter. Written again in rhyme, the vivid, child-like, free pictures by Max Low add to the raucous fun and imaginative play. For young readers, this is an adventure that gives the gift of excitement about expressing yourself, poetry and twisting words around to change the meaning and mood.’ Mary Esther Judy, Fallen Star Stories
‘Engaging rhymes and art: just right for putting across the ‘language is fun’ message to pre-schoolers.’ Jill Bennett, Red Reading Hub
‘Children will adore this brilliantly surreal book of poems, which get sillier for the longer you read them.’ BookTrust
