Even as a child, I appreciated that hardbacks were that little bit more magical than paperbacks, and this edition is no exception. The colours are so vibrant and the animals jump (and swing and dance) right off the page at you. The paper is silky, glossy, feels like a treat to read and the pages are huge and full of detail, though text is limited to a line or two per page to keep it from being too overwhelming. The minutiae are awesome too – the look on Aunty Shanti’s face when she sees Aunty Anne and Aunty Candy dancing without her is delicious and will make little ones cackle.
Simply put, this is a brilliant book I defy any child not to enjoy and I must thank the publishers for supplying it. We also have a review of the autrhors' [[That's Not a Hippopotamus! by Juliette MacIver and Sarah Davis|That's Not a Hippopotamus!]]
Fans of more typical, farmyard style animals will no doubt enjoy the rhyming fun in [[Where's Tim's Ted? It's Time for Bed! by Ian Whybrow and Russell Ayto]] as well. You might also like [[Scribbles and Ink, the Contest by Ethan Long]].
