The bold cartoon illustrations use a two-dimensional plane that perfectly accentuates critical aspects of the images. Sharratt's use of die-cut components is very clever. Simple and satisfying, with audience participation guaranteed- Financial Times Sharratt's upbeat illustrations and rhyming, rhthymical text. The hole in the page in Shark in the Park is the best use of this apparently simple device since PEEPO! by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. A book that will have them squealing with delight- Guardian The very young will enjoy all the changes of perspective and the jokes. This crafty interactive picture book is 100% bliss and very toothsome indeed.
