Media Reviews
Funny and warm-hearted . . . through Sadie's uncritical eyes, the babies' antics and adult failings are the stuff of comedy . . . Wittily illustrated * Daily Mail *
A fine eye for the details of chaos * Independent on Sunday *
High energy, zappy storytelling * Junior Bookshelf *
The humorous account of a vivacious girl coping cheerfully and resourcefully with a problem life . . . Very entertaining reading . . . Should appeal to most primary school readers, particularly girls, and is well served by its attractive cover * School Librarian *
