Reviews
We love Catherine’s bouncy rhyming verses which are a joy to read and David’s quirky illustrations bring the story to life in a way that only this internationally acclaimed illustrator can. Taking a very funny twist on the message to be careful what you wish for, your little ones will be laughing out loud by the last page.SLOAN Magazine
