I thought this picture book was cute and very colourful. I already read some of Julia Donaldson's books and love the fun illustrations by Axel Scheffler.
I like the meaning of this story: that you can love anyone and accepting each other for who we are no matter where we were born and brought up in. It doesn't matter because we all are the same in that we all have feelings and emotions we can relate to one another.

This is a super heavy-handed, overly long and quirky allegory about getting past prejudice and accepting mixed-race marriages. The author's attempts to make this fun fall flat, and there are way better books on the topics involved.

With overtones of Dr Seuss' Sneetches, and Lear's Owl and the Pussycat, a story of acceptance and love.

A story about tolerance and accepting, so important in this day and age.

Picked this up at Foyles today because I felt a bit blue and immediate nostalgia. Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler are childhood heros: the gruff all, stick-man, etc. absolute classics!
