‘Could be at all possible that there are a few of you still out there unaware of the great golden glory that is Leo Timmers?’ – School Library Journal
‘A humorous, delightful tale about finding wonderful new ways to see the world.’ – Kirkus Reviews 
‘The best jokes are the simplest ones, and the joke at the heart of Leo Timmers’ new book is perfectly simple and very good indeed … Leo Timmers’ timing is impeccable, his characters wonderfully expressive.’ ***** Books for Keeps, Book of the Month
‘…A terrific, tongue-in-cheek comical delight that puts forward the possibility that seeing with one’s imagination is preferable to viewing reality. Little ones will relish Timmers’ tale of discovering – albeit accidentally – new ways of seeing the world and loudly correcting him with regard to the misidentifies flora and fauna.’ – Red Reading HUB
