‘Children’s logic and understanding of the world perfectly expressed by childlike toys and their animal friends. The story worked for both our kids. The story was exciting and charming for younger children, while the older ones can gain more from the language and characters. The language is reminiscent of the stories we read as children but with a modern twist. It has created a safe space for our children at a time when it is needed the most.’ Lyndsay & Si, Parents
‘I am convinced it will become a children’s classic.’ Cass Grafton, Author
