Praise for Snip Snap!:

Nick Maland's clever perspectives make the alligator increasingly alarming as he swells to fill more and more of the page in this well-created story of facing down fear.

* The Guardian *

 

Using elements of rhythm and rhyme as well as an enjoyably predicable question-and-answer refrain the text maintains a playful tone beneath the scary details... Expressive line drawings, brightened with watercolour washes, illustrate the story with wit and style... good fun. * Booklist *

 

Fans will definitely want to try this sequel. * Bookbag *

 

Jolly drawings and a playful rhyming scheme. Great fun. * Daily Telegraph *
