This review is nice and easy as the book really reviews it's self. You remember the childhood song "if you're happy and you know it"? Yes? well that is basically this book except it has an Australian twist.

This book uses Australian animals and different actions which makes it fun and interesting for kids (and adults) to read. My little guy loves doing the noises and recognises from the pictures what he is supposed to do, he often is making the noises as soon as I turn the page. When reading the story you cant help but sing the tune.


My sons favourite part is :

"If you're a Tassie Devil and you know it, let out a growl.
If you're a Tassie Devil and you know it, let out a growl.
If you're a Tassie Devil and you know it then your really should just show it,
If you're a Tassie Devil and you know it then let out a growl!"

The illustrations are bright and colourful. Big cartoon happy animals doing the actions in the book.


There is also a CD that comes with the book which can make a fun change for keeping the book fresh for the kids.


This book is just so much fun and your toddler will LOVE it. I would be very surprised if your toddler (and your self) did not like this book. It certainly is a favourite in our house.
