Critics Review
There’s a great (and rather disgusting) surprise at the end which is bound to raise laughter. A modern version of the Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly, this is a great board book for sharing with children who love a good laugh.
– Irish IndependentDamm has created a clever interactive puzzle book that combines a story and guessing, memory, observation, and naming game in which one toy after another disappears. An ideal book for parents to share and enjoy with toddlers as they guess which objects on the shelf will be eaten next.
– Outside in WorldA nifty board book that is both a story and a memory game.
– NZ Poetry Box – Paula GreenThis book ticks all the boxes for me: age appropriate, funny and expressive, hidden clues, interactivity, suspense, a greedy protagonist, a tiny bit gross and the design feels spot on.
– The Sapling“With each turn of the page, young readers are challenged to identify which item is missing, and they will likely squeal with delight as they do.”
