Critics Review
This picture book throbs with sunshine. A stunning book. * The Independent *
…simple, repetitive narrative…accompanied by bold, vibrant spreads. Handa’s Surprise, published seven years ago, has become a classroom classic, and I have no doubt that this new title will become a firm favourite. * The Bookseller *
A wonderfully-illustrated counting tale set in beautiful Africa. * theschoolrun.com *
Featured in Nursery World. * Nursery World *
