Critics Review
Manages to bring in plenty of humour, and makes an engaging read for all ages. The hilarious cartoons by Neal Layton are wonderful and hugely entertaining. The book is well written with plenty of valuable information - and advice about sharing our world with these marvellous creatures. A refreshing and original approach. * Parents in Touch *
As an animal enthusiast myself, I really enjoyed reading this book and learnt lots along the way. I especially like the amusing pictures that bring the words to life. * The List *
