Customer Reviews

Wonderful book!
What a lovely rhyming book! My only complaint is that my husband and I know it off by heart because our 11 month old loves it so much it is read over and over again!!! Highly recommended - I have bought this book for a number of friends' children!!!

A charming rhyming story
This is a very charming story told with a gentle and funny rhyming text. The illustrations are beautiful, in a slightly quirky style. My only gripe is that when Wobble Bear gets the colour right it is of moonlight which I wouldn't immediately have thought of as yellow. If you are teaching colours to children it is important to be clear about what's what, I feel, and the moon by any other name is not a banana.
