Granny is a delight and her clear and obvious addiction to knitting provides good, mad story fodder to go with the book’s exuberantly illustrated characters.

Colleen Thorpe, Hawkes Bay Weekend
You possibly wouldn’t predict that this book was about protecting the environment from the title, but it is! Great rhyme and awesome - already award-winning - illustrations from a first time writer / illustrator combination.
Sarah Forster, The Sapling
A beautifully illustrated book with fantastic rhyme.
Little Treasures
Underlying the fun tale is a more serious message about care of the environment and what individuals can do to help to restore animals' health. Beautiful in layout . . . a terrific story read aloud to your young children. Rhyming and rhythmic, big new words to enrich vocabulary and set the brain waves whizzing – it’s all here to be discovered.
Sue's Reviews, Wairarapa Times-Age
Trust Penguin NZ to publish a book about little blue penguins and the unsinkable grandmum who knits jumpers for them! In this delightful tale, Granny McFlitter doesn't flinch following the wrecking of the Rena and the oil spill which follows. Instead, Granny goes full speed ahead to help save the day in her own way. Complete with illustrations by Storylines Gavin Bishop Award-winner, Lael Chisholm
