"Children of all ages will enjoy this book due to the voice – spoken by the Spotted Handfish, the facts embedded throughout the story about what the Spotted Handfish is and also the story it tells of how the scientists are working to save it."
Vanessa Ryan-Rendall, Educate.Empower
"Presented in a way that engages the reader with Handstand’s story entwined and embedded with facts and accompanied by biologically-correct illustrations which have a childlike appeal."
Barbara Braxton, The Bottom Shelf
