Thank you so much to Quarto/Frances Lincoln & Happy Yak and Netgalley for the Ebook to read and review.
Review: This caught my eye as it seemed so different from the cover and the description sounded so cute and funny. Dot likes clean, duck likes messy they don’t like each other’s way at all.
This was really cute, I loved the water colour illustrations they were so beautiful. I liked how the characters worked off of each other so perfectly as they were the complete opposites. I also really enjoyed they found a middle ground eventually.
This book is really easy to read a perfect early reader book, it’s beautiful to look at the story is short but fun and it will make children laugh. It will also help teach them that sometimes neat is best and sometimes messy is okay, and sometimes both work well together.
