Media Reviews
For pure fun, read again - and again - Quentin Blake's masterly Cockatoos -- Gwynneth Bailey * TES *
A wonderfully enjoyable story * Daily Mail *
Must be the funniest and subtles counting book, so funny you can't count anyway. Irresistibly daft, devastatingly droll * Guardian *
There has never been, and probably never will be, a counting book as funny and delightful as this * Books for your Children *
