Muddle & Mo was reviewed by Dymocks as one of 3 best kids books for the month of May! "Set on a textural background of compressed cardboard, Muddle and Mo are simply and expressively painted. With simple brush strokes, we see Muddle's beak opened wide to state his ideas about wings or be surprised about the different kinds of beaks. This is an easy to read story, a simple tale of two animals' friendship and a search for identity." - Reviewed by Rhyllis Bignell at ReadPlus
