Trade Review
"This zany number book collaboration between Yeoman and Blake is tremendously successful. Verse and illustration complement each other with delicious absurdity." * Books for Keeps *
"Learning to count doesn't get more delightful than this. A witty, perfectly shaped building story with glorious illustrations." * LoveReading4Kids *
"A firm favourite... Problem solving for the pre-schooler and reception set, at it's best." * THEBOOKBAG *
"Wonderful flowing text, combined with lively and colourful pictures make this another sure-fire success from this inspired pairing." * Parents in Touch *
"An offbeat counting book with characteristic humour and inventiveness, which will be recited in homes all over the world" * Booktrust *
