Praise

Reviews

“This is certainly a book that can be read again and again. Children will ask for the story as they will love the opportunities to participate. They can follow and predict the rhymes, count along with the narrative and spot what is happening by studying the illustrations. The pace is bouncy and the idea is great fun. There is a very amusing twist at the end!”—Just Imagine

“Debut author Kael Tudor’s text is huge fun with some cheeky counting opportunities included, and illustrator Nicola has clearly enjoyed herself creating snazzy attire for the moose and geese. Young listeners will delight in the daftness of the whole thing and demand “Read it again” each time you share the story.”—Red Reading Hub
