'You know a book is a big hit when your child keeps laughing out loud, then starts using phrases from it in everyday conversations. It's a bigger hit when parents join in. We give gigantic ticks to Herrick's book of poems.'
Herald Sun

'Suitable for everyone and anyone. Whether it's climbing a tree, blushing or Anzac Day, Herrick hones in on the emotion of the moment and traps it like a bug in a jar.' Sunday Age
'The king of poetry for children is Steven Herrick. Herrick's poems - and, indeed, this collection on the whole - are so well balanced. On the one hand there's humour and light-heartedness; on the other there's depth and thoughtful care … this vivid poetry shows that good things can come in small packages.' Sydney Morning Herald
'A top read.' Yarra Reviews
'It is a dangerous book, so be sure to bring it out when all of you are ready to be shocked, delighted, tickled and outraged.' Reading Time
