Media Reviews
Beautifully illustrated Riveting Reads SLA It would be no exaggeration to hold up this book as an outstanding example of the art of the picture book in which the combined qualities of text, illustration, typography and book design are brought together in an almost perfect combination. Morris' watercolours alone should earn it a place in any school library. School Librarian Best animal picture book of the season ... holds the reader in suspense until the very last page. Economist Both the writing and the illustrations in this book are magnificent complementing eachother and giving a vivid picture of life in the jungle, while representing changes of mood and pace. 5-7 Educator
