'I love reading this book. It's about a kid called Lemonade Jones
in Grade 1, just like me. There are three stories. In each one she
is doing something crazy, like eating too much sugar, putting
sparkle glitter all over a parrot to make it look like a bat, or
sometimes even being a bit mean (she bit her friend Marcus
Crackle). At the end there is a recipe for Unicorn Poo -- so we are
making Unicorn Poo right now. So fun!' Angus Duncanson, 7, The
Geelong Advertiser
'Lemonade's energy and spirit are hard to suppress and these are
the very qualities that will endear her to school children
everywhere. Fun, feisty and full of bubbly joy, this is a series as
refreshing as a pre-summer glass of homemade lemonade.' Boomerang
Books Blog
