🐮 farmgatehoneyaustralia; It reminds me of ‘Cows with Guns’ – but in a book. And I love how they’re always doing sneaking stuff, and they’re mad… bad… glad and then they come together… and take off!

🐮 chattertimehub; I’m a big fan of books with minimal words on the page; perfect for supporting any child’s language development. There is so much to describe in this book and even better, emotions to chat about. It’s a very clever book. (Speech Pathologist)
