"A seemingly lethargic lemur proves appearances can deceive in this amusing tale. British newcomer Deacon subtly draws readers into Loris's supposedly sluggish zoo existence by using paintings awash in cheerless hues and small text peppered with ellipses…A quirky tale with an entertaining twist" - Publishers Weekly
"This is a witty and engaging animal story, and youngsters may also take to heart the subtle implication here about zoo visitors' expectations, especially for nocturnal animals; next trip to the zoo the kids'll stun everyone by rushing to see the lorises." - The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"...utterly charming...unique and quirky." - Through the Looking Glass Children's Book Review
