What They're Saying

Critics Review

With rhymes just as whimsical as Dr. Seuss.– The Booklover

They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, but sometimes a cover speaks volumes, as this one does. From the title, to jacket illustrations, a reader can expect a myriad cast of native and exotic animals heading for a party at a zoo. And you certainly won’t be disappointed. – Julie Harper-Taylor * Magpies *
A delight to read. – Suzy Cato
We’ve read it and love it! Thoroughly recommend it. – Robert Rakete and Jeanette Thomas * The Breeze *

This book is a brilliant read. It’s fun and engaging. My grandchildren love it. – Customer Feedback * The Warehouse *
My 3 year old loves this! Not quite sure why he finds the idea of a snake with cake so funny, it definitely hit the right note. – Customer Feedback * Booktopia *
A delight to read.
