About this title

Review:

Using vivid gouache colours, Fernandes has imbibed the illustrations with such energy that you can almost hear the squawking chickens.--Alison Mews"Canadian Materials" (09/04/1998) Cheerful, richly colored gouache illustrations reflect the energy and movement of the text.--Maryann H. Owen"School Library Journal" (07/01/1998) The luxurious description in the text is well matched by the richly colored, detailed gouache paintings.--Bridget Donald"Quill and Quire" (02/01/1998) An avid kayaker herself, Maria Coffey has fashioned an improbable, exaggerated story about a menagerie of discarded pets and the tender-hearted vet who gives them all a home. Recommended.--Alison Mews"Canadian Materials" (09/04/1998)
