Media Reviews
Using vivid gouache colours, Fernandes has imbibed the illustrations with such energy that you can almost hear the squawking chickens.--Alison Mews Canadian Materials (09/04/1998)
Cheerful, richly colored gouache illustrations reflect the energy and movement of the text.--Maryann H. Owen School Library Journal (07/01/1998)
The luxurious description in the text is well matched by the richly colored, detailed gouache paintings.--Bridget Donald Quill and Quire (02/01/1998)
An avid kayaker herself, Maria Coffey has fashioned an improbable, exaggerated story about a menagerie of discarded pets and the tender-hearted vet who gives them all a home. Recommended.--Alison Mews Canadian Materials (09/04/1998)
