I enjoyed the illustrations and the story. The characters were animals that made it fun for me. The word ‘PETFLIX’ was very creative of the writer. I was in fits of laughter.

This is such a cute book that authentically describes the challenges students faced with online learning during COVID lockdowns. The rhyming was fun and inventive and the antics of the characters during their Zoom sessions were truly hilarious!

This rhyming tale is original and cleverly-written - and together with the colourful illustrations, makes for a funny, cute and witty book. Both kids and adults will have a good giggle going through the range of online schooling hiccups.
