Reviews
Every page is so lovely, so appealing, it demands long, close attention. * Gwen Grant, Armadillo Magazine *
Reading the words in print, rather than simply hearing them, made me think much more about what the song says to us about the wonders of our world and the importance of love. * Parents in Touch *
The words are enriched by gorgeous illustrations. * Carousel *
'The bright colourful illustrations wonderfully capture the lyrics, and it's just gorgeous... This fantastic book will bring a smile to the faces of child and parent alike.' * Once Upon a Bookcase *
