'The book's hilarious plot and abundant illustrations make it a top choice for reluctant readers. Wildly original and very funny'
- Kirkus
'Although Clary plays up the humour the underlying warm message is of tolerance towards those who are supposedly different from the norm. Glorious black-and-white illustrations add to the mayhem.'
- Daily Mail
'Joyful'
- Telegraph, Best Holiday Reading for Kids
'Funny and clever with a good dose of yucky humour. Children will appreciate the wry digs at the nonsense of modern living and Roberts' illustrations are an absolute delight.'
- Fiona Noble, The Bookseller
'Roberts' manically expressive black and white illustrations capitalize on the unapologetically silly premise... Clary mixes animal fact with imaginative, entertaining fiction.'
- Publishers Weekly
'We loved the silliness and laughter that runs throughout, and the illustrations are brilliant. Heaps of fun.'
