The enormous attention to detail in the portrayal of all the different birds and animals means we have a real feast for the eye here.'<br />- The School Librarian</p> <p>'A sweet picture book, especially for children who love puffins and birds.'<br />-Youth Services Book Review</p> <p>'The book is melodic to read, with lively, colourful pictures... It is a happy book with a strong humorous vein. This would be a good 'read aloud' book, but also a moderate reader could enjoy learning the words and phrases helped by the rhythmic text.'<br />- Armadillo Magazine</p> <p>'Written in a lovely rich rhyme, this is a delightful story, with a gentle underpinning message about how, through helping others, we can often help ourselves. Bright colourful illustrations add warmth and gentleness to a lovely tale. This picture book is particularly suitable for reading aloud and sharing together.'<br />- Carousel</p> <p>'The animals are charming and the pathos of the baby seal gives quite an emotional tug. A light airy touch with colour allows the sense of space and fresh sea breezes through.'<br />- Books for Keeps</p> <p>'The book is written in rhyming couplets by Lynne Rickards and is delightfully illustrated by Gabby Grant.'<br />- Lothian Life</p> <p>'Lynne Rickards and Gabby Grant make the concept of helping others fun and palpable for preschoolers and elementary school age children!'<br />-The Reading Castle Blog</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Lynne Rickards was born in Canada and now lives in Scotland with her husband and two children.
