Trade Review“Willems places his characters in a cleverly constructed diorama shown on the title page, and Nanette’s antics are, oh so expressively portrayed, in brightly coloured vignettes, the whole thing being orchestrated by the variety of fonts used. Extra servings are sure to be the order of the day when this is presented to young audiences – it certainly was with several of mine. In a word, a KRACKER!” * Red Reading Hub *
