“Christopher Cheng's words are easy to read and engaging and with a storyline that includes suspense and finally joy, young readers are hooked.”
“Chris Cheng is at his best when he meshes his meticulous research with his way with words and this sits very well along Python, his other contribution to this series and his many others stories for children”
“The illustrations are sensational, so earthy and true to our Australian bush and wildlife. They complement the text perfectly, allowing the reader to immerse themselves into the narrative as well as make connections with the factual information on each page”
