"Absurdly catchy account of what the fruit gets up to when the household sleeps, complete with blaring, psychedelic illustrations." - Metro, "A party season essential" - The Times, UK "Absurdly catchy account of what the fruit gets up to when the household sleeps, complete with blaring, psychedelic illustrations." - Metro, "As soon as the lights go out and everything's quiet, it's party time in the fruit bowl ("It's called the kitchendisco / and everyone's invited / so move your hips / shake your pips / and let's get all excited!"). Out spillthe lemons and the mangoes, the tangerines, the grapes, and all the rest to--in Murphy's big, brightcartoon pictures--shake their booties and show off their other moves. Foges' block-lettered lyrics crank upthe rhythm, and it's all such a blast that there's barely a stutter when the kitchen door swings open and insashay two youngsters. With a page turn, foil stars and a disco ball appear, sending the glittering gala tonew heights. Come sunrise, it's back to the fruit bowl for a recuperative snooze. A juicy invitation to 'Shake it like a mango / party like a pear / wiggle like an apple, / HEY! / and dance like you don't care.'"-- John Peters, Booklist, "This exquisite book is an instant classic. Filled to the brim with great characters, brought to life with just a few lines of text, and perfectly matched with hilarious, colourful illustrations that are bursting with life. Each page brings a smile to your face and the repetitive chorus will ensure even small children will be able to join in the sing-a-long fun. Highly recommended, this is one of the finest and funniest young children's books in years." --Booktrust, the largest reading charity in the UK, "Foges' rhyming text includes several cute puns, and Murphy's heavily outlined, colorful illustrations are busy and bright. Sound effects and dialogue in speech bubbles ("Uh-oh..." / "Busted!") add to the fun.... Cute and catchy." --Kirkus Reviews
