With simple brush strokes, we see Muddle's beak opened wide to state his ideas about wings or be surprised about the different kinds of beaks. This is an easy to read story, a simple tale of two animals' friendship and a search for identity." - Reviewed by Rhyllis Bignell at ReadPlus Children's books: Stephen Romei's picks the best of the bunch and includes Muddle & Mo, Two Unhappy Fish, The Moving House, The Cowardly Lion and The Pear Violin in his list.
