Reviews / Votes
"Vibrant brush strokes - the enchanting, rhyming blurb sets the tone for the singsong quality of the text which has delightful sound effects. The bold print pounces at you from the page - a visual treat for children." - The Indian Review of Books "Something uniquely personal - told in whimsical verse, and animated through simple pictures and flowing typography - the kind of story that might go round in circles forever." - Scholastic Junior Education Magazine "A great lesson in respect and liberty." - CitrouilleMore details
