'Lester's brisk visual and verbal pace gives readers an appreciation for the variegated topography and diverse animal population of her homeland and may well prompt future visits. And kids will surely nod in recognition at Grace's younger brother's familiar refrain, which gives the book its title.' -- Publishers Weekly
'This is Lester at her finest. Perfect for any family about to embark on Australian travel, or for the child who is intrigued by such an idea.' -- Kids' Book Review
