"An off-the-wall lesson about the value of facts… Children will laugh, be encouraged to read and be glad to Know Better." -- Nicolette Jones Sunday Times
"A new favourite in our house… full of wit and exuberance, perfect for visually sophisticated modern children." Irish Independent
"OHora’s scratchy, comically stiff figures and poker-faced humor beautifully embody the tale’s essential absurdity. And the lemmings’ final victory affirms that progress is possible even for the terminally silly." Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Delightfully imparts the joy and discovery of reading—and many chuckles and guffaws." Kirkus
"An absolute joy to read" BookTrust
