'This funny and original story is told in a playful, conversational tone ... The scratchy, Quentin Blake-esque illustrations are fantastic fun and offer plenty to explore and discover. Text and image together call to mind the darker outings of Dahl and Blake (think Revolting Rhymes).'
Inis Magazine 'The text varies from lyrical alliteration, to straightforward talking, to ... Read morechaotic scrawling over the page providing the reader with a variety of reading experiences within the story. The illustrations are pen and smudgy ink, and add to the vitality and eccentricity of the story and characters.'
School Librarian 'The pictures are colourful and dramatic, with a lot of fun details to pore over ... the book has some quite sophisticated ideas that will make you smile.'
Lothian Life '...Tim Archbold gives us plenty to pore over and chuckle at in his droll, comic book and somewhat Quentin Blake style illustrations.'
Books for Keeps 'A very quirky story, brilliantly illustrated to add to the style, character and Scottish sense of humour with which it is written ... An hilarious, tongue-in-cheek tale'
EYE: Early Years Educator 'A great book which gives a real flavour of Scotland and its culture.'
