'There's a great selection of long and short rhymes and it's lovely to see so many distinctly Irish rhymes alongside the traditional Mother Goose collection. Steve McCarthy's quirky and colourful pictures add to the pleasure of this book.' Book Fest 'Every single page is glorious ... Steve McCarthy is one of the best illustrators that I’ve come across in Ireland ... A lot of these rhymes I’d forgotten about!' The Comic Cast 'Well-known rhymes blend jauntily with old Irish street-chants ... The bold, colourful outline and very child-friendly illustrations by Steve McCarthy top this delightful book for children of all ages.' Irish Examiner 'Each rhyme is beautifully illustrated' Sunday Business Post Agenda 'This is a book that will be enjoyed and cherished by both parents and children.' Maternity and Infant Magazine 'With first-time book illustrator Steve McCarthy, Webb and Ranson have produced a collection which will awaken memories of forgotten tradition in some readers, while for others it may spark a whole new cycle of childhood rhymes to be passed to the next generation ... a refreshing change to find a volume of children’s verse which embraces that shared (UK and Ireland) but highlights some very specifically Irish rhymes as well ... Many native nursery rhymes originated in the Irish language and are enjoying a popular revival. That influence ... is present in this collection.' The Evening Echo |
