a joyful read about an outsider who finds acceptance on his own terms... there's also a simple moral about tolerance and daring to be different. -- Junior 20110701 This delightful picture book is written in lively rhyming text with vivacious illustrations. -- Junior 20090101 A rhyming story with superb illustrations... wonderfully funny. -- Independent 20040101 Witty match of rollicking rhyme and bold colour. -- Guardian 20040101 A fantastically funny and wonderfully colourful romp of a picture book. All toddlers should grow up reading this or hearing their parents read it aloud to them. -- Daily Telegraph 20090101
