Reviews:

'The kids are having a ball (whoops, having fun) and a discussion is born.' 4 stars, GOOD READING

'our new family favourite ... a hilarious ride and one that adults and kids will both love' JAYEBYDAY.COM

'Funny, clever, deliciously dry... this book encourages kids to think outside the square, and hopefully, somewhere deep in that unlimited subconscious, understand that what we see is all about perception. What a powerful thought.' KIDS' BOOK REVIEW
