Review

A raucous, zany, skit of a picture book...a masterful way of channelling a toddler's high spirits * Telegraph * This brilliant story...manages to be beautiful to look at and funny to read, as well as requiring active audience participation. * Guardian * There is no such thing as a bad Mo Willems book * The Times * If there's a living creator of children's books who stands a chance of occupying a cultural position akin to a Dr Seuss or a Charles M. Schulz, it's Mr Willems * The New York Times *
