Critic Reviews

“Watercolour illustrations extend the fun of this clever rhyming story.”

-- Margaret Hamilton Pinerolo Newsletter
These amazing rhymes are just a few of many in this book that will delight readers and young listeners. -- Bookrapt Bookrapt
The style of it brings to mind the work of Dr Seuss, and even Roald Dahl to some extent. -- Booksellers NZ Booksellers NZ
Strong rhymes as ever from Juliette MacIver, and Cat Chapman’s animals at sea are bound to get a laugh. -- Helen Spiers Otago Daily Times
Chapman's ink-and-watercolor artwork has a spring-fresh quality, as if she were capturing the scene while lying along a riverbank with her sketch pad in the early-season sun. -- Kirkus Kirkus

About the Author

Juliette MacIver lives north of Wellington City with her husband and four children. She majored in linguistics at university, took a detour and became a bicycle courier for a year, then went back to university to complete a diploma in teaching English. She taught for five years before quitting and starting a government job, which she left once her first child was born. Juliette has always written little pieces, frequently in rhyme, and has had “write a children’s story” on her List Of Things I Want To Do In My Life for a very long time. Little Witch was her first title with Walker Books.


Cat Chapman grew up in rural Waikato and moved to Auckland as a teenager. She gained a Bachelor of Design majoring in Photography and after a brief stint as a wedding photographer and an English teacher in Japan, she worked for a number of years at a design company. In 2010 she attended a night course in children's illustration which was shortly followed by a contract for her first book from Walker Books Australia. She currently works full-time chasing after her young son and illustrating books. Cat enjoys working quickly with ink, pen and water colour, and enjoys creating characters that are full of movement, humour and personality. She is often caught with a strangely contorted face as she unwittingly mimics the characters expression she is drawing. Cat and her family currently live in Auckland.
