Review:

[A] tip-top adventurous ballad which will hold its readers captive. (Guardian)

[...] a delightful rhyming adventure. (Daily Mail)

A delightful tale . . . each glittery, tactile page is beautifully illustrated and gently teaches youngsters the value of friendship, courage and trust. (ASDA Magazine)

The clever rhyming lines that Julia Donaldson is so famous for give a lovely lift to the tale, and Lydia’s playful illustrations are great for spotting little creatures and pointing things out for your child. With the glitter and pretty mermaid, it’s a book that will appeal to little girls. Perfect entertainment for cold, wet days. (Madeformums.com)

A charming story of ambition, deception and friendship told in Donaldson’s reliable rhymes. (Family Traveller)
