Praise for the book:
"Giles Andreae's vibrant collection of animal poems [and the] glorious, glowing illustrations by David Wocjtowycz match perfectly." The Guardian
“It's a jungle in here! Join this rhyming safari and meet everyone from the elephant to the gangly giraffe, and maybe even the terrible tiger. Energetic verses and brilliant artwork make this exuberant introduction to a host of wild animals pounce to life.” – goodreads.com
“This is a lovely book which encourages a real sense of fun in its language as well as being a charming activity book to enjoy during bedtime reads or daytime snuggles. You can start to share a book like this with your child from six months, but it will really come into its own between 18 months and three years.” – thinkbaby.co.uk
“We love Giles Andreae's books. So fun, informative and bright. A real winner with children 4-8” – jacketflap.com
