‘There is a wonderful sense of patterning in the skilful use of sound and repetitive text which reflects the rhythmic swing of the morning’s activities. The conclusion is perfectly balanced and complemented by a glorious final illustration which contributes to the final sense of wellbeing. This is a perfect Early Childhood book to entertain and be shared by an adult and child.’
