The Source –
Joy Cowley is a genius with words, and this anthology is a reminder of her skill and originality.The exuberant colour illustrations are by Giselle Clarkson. According to Joy Cowley, these pictures are ‘mad and scrumptious’.
Magpies Magazine (AUS) –
Cowley’s text is pitch perfect as always, a master of rhythm and rhyme and the ability to take small everyday moments and make them special…Giselle has a style all her own and has maximised her capacity for loose lines and scribbly colouring… allowing the textures to bring more touches of impulse and life to each character.
