"I love them. They’re warm, they’re witty."
*John McIntyre, Radio New Zealand*
"This would make a nice read aloud to younger elementary school
children. Also recommend to kids who like animal stories like Frog
and Toad by Lobel or the Little Bear stories by Minarik."
*Starred review, Youth Services Book Review*
"There are some real ethical dilemmas in this book, for which
reason I think it would be really rewarding to read aloud and
discuss with children. It would also be great for junior readers
starting out with chapter books."

Joy Cowley’s witty narrative will keep young readers amused. Gavin
Bishop’s colour illustrations capture the various moods of the
stories. The desert creatures are sympathetically depicted warts
and all – yes, there are toads – and his beautiful endpapers
display a wide range of birdlife.
