'A Classic children's poem with illustrations that will help create a childhood.' - Dimbleton Poetry Group 'A thirty-page picture book with lovely novel images.... The book follows them about through one day in their homeless lives and my children came to love them. They dream that they have an owner who cares for them by taking them to their wildest dreams. A book where the value of life is important and not the price.' - June Brown Kids reading blog.
