The Book Chook (AU) –
This is a very simple story that resonates with a sense of wonder and delight…They will giggle over the repeated “pop, pop, pop” too. I can just see Dads and babies having a ball as they find silly and creative ways of “popping” like the flower buds in the story.
Black Pool Gazette –
Murakami’s eye-catching illustrations, painted in striking contrasts, and the use of repetition as the butterfly journeys across the pages make this ideal for little ones to follow and enjoy as the story is read aloud
Otago Daily Times –
I am smitten with this board book for babies and young toddlers. So much so, it is destined to be my new go-to baby-shower gift.
Kiwi Families –
Murakami pares back the illustrations to the essential elements of the story, just perfect for a developing brain to connect with…Great stuff, highly recommended for all newborns, and small children out there.
