Delightful, simple yet thought provoking. * Paper Plus Masterton *

We all agreed the illustrations in the book are great... At the very beginning, morepork asks us to find on each page: a grasshopper, a ladybird and a moth. This of course becomes a race with each turn of a new page. * The Sapling *
