Every page is so lovely, so appealing, it demands long, close attention. (Praise for What a Wonderful World) * Gwen Grant, Armadillo Magazine *
Reading the words in print, rather than simply hearing them, made me think much more about what the song says to us about the wonders of our world and the importance of love. (Praise for What a Wonderful World) * Parents in Touch *
The words are enriched by gorgeous illustrations. (Praise for What a Wonderful World) * Carousel *
Hopgood does the impossible and makes a song as ubiquitous as What a Wonderful World feel fresh again. With dazzling artwork that jumps off the page, the colours of the rainbow never looked prettier. (Praise for What a Wonderful World) * Huffington Post *
