"A tongue-twisting, high-energy, ludicrous rhyme full of hilarity and off-the-wall characters (we love Aunty Shanti!)." Julia Marshall, Publisher

"Filled with delicious tongue-twisters and a very rhythmical pace
of the narrative, this book should be `acted out’, ideally in
expressive, silly voices. Better still, it could work as a basis
for a classroom play; giggles and fun guaranteed."
*SLA Magazine (UK)*
"MacIver’s simple text has lots of bounce and phonic crunch. Davis’
illustrations, besides being colorful, effectively communicate
motion and fun."
*Kirkus Reviews (US)*
"Get ready to dace and cheer along with the irrepressible Toucan…
The illustrations are full of texture and life with kooky
characters accumulating throughout… Fun from beginning to end"
*Magpies (AU)*
