What the critics say

This zany number book collaboration between Yeoman and Blake is tremendously successful. Verse and illustration complement each other with delicious absurdity.
- Books for Keeps

Learning to count doesn't get more delightful than this. A witty, perfectly shaped building story with glorious illustrations.
- LoveReading4Kids

A firm favourite... Problem solving for the pre-schooler and reception set, at it's best.
- THEBOOKBAG

Wonderful flowing text, combined with lively and colourful pictures make this another sure-fire success from this inspired pairing.
- Parents in Touch

An offbeat counting book with characteristic humour and inventiveness, which will be recited in homes all over the world
- Booktrust
