Review:
"...it’s an even cuter story than I’d expected, definitely the sort of book I want to hug after reading... Cee Biscoe’s illustrations add a lot to the reading experience. They have a softness to them that makes them very appealing, and the use of colour throughout is excellent." (Juniper's Jungle)
