Reviews"Will strike a chord with anyone who has ever wished that they could have a pet" -- Books for Topics "A furry, funny and very cute Little Gem that's full of heart" -- LoveReading4Kids "Strong pens this highly-readable short-chapter book without sacrificing any of his jokes" -- Big Issue North "The kind of book that children will remember and want to read over and over again" -- Kate Heap, Scope for Imagination "A laughter-filled adventure ... Robertson's gallery of bright, colourful and suitably anarchic illustrations are the perfect foil for a story full of mishaps, mayhem and animal magic" -- Lancashire Evening Press
