Reviews / Votes
'A noisy book that celebrated the fun of charging around, while gently encouraging quiet, creative play. Full of the sort of detail children love; bright, exuberant pictures, short sentences, lots of repetition and whooping noises to imitate.'The Independent
'This stylised, multi-cultural picture book is fille with boundless energy and a sense of fun. The bold, colourful, alternative style of artwork will make this book leap off the shelf, with illustrations that fizzle with energy and perfectly mirror the lively story. Perfect for children aged two to five.'
The Malta Independent
