Reviews
An oldie and a goodie that will bring back memories for every grandparent, this Auckland illustrator’s imagining of a familiar rhyme fairly sizzles.
NZ Listener magazine
This is such a well-known classic nursery rhyme, but this version has been given a fresh little twist with a cast of brilliantly illustrated, playful characters that makes it feel new again. It’s one of those books that naturally turns into a fun, interactive read-aloud or singalong.
