"Big Bold colours and visual jokes galore" * The Bookseller *
"Totally daft but enormous fun: Burgerman, with his off the wall sense of humour, has dished up another winner to tickle your taste buds." * Red Reading Hub *
"Bright colours and simple but effective illustrations will capture children's attention and there are plenty of lots visual gags to enjoy" * Parents in Touch *
(Review of SPLAT!) 'This brilliantly playful book that experiments with the physical boundaries of the book as an object, encouraging interaction and imagination, seems to be a direct extension of Jon's personality. * Oliver Jeffers *
(Review of SPLAT!) 'Burgermans first children's book is a mess in a good way. . . . Set against bright, crayon-colored backdrops, Burgermans cartoons, outlined in thick black lines, are as in-your-face as it gets . . . Good, not so clean fun that will delight.' * Publishers Weekly *
