This is my favourite of the oi books because they don’t know how to rhyme the animals so they use their names. My favourite part one was the giraffe who had lots of names and the frog said you can sit whenever you want!

I like it because all the animals don’t know where they’re sitting and in all the other books, the frog is telling them where to sit.

I liked the rhyming but some names were really hard to say and read!

It is good because it is funny. The animals looks weird and the kangaroo has a very long name.

It's a really funny book and I enjoyed reading it to my mum and little sister. I love the "Oi" books

I think this book is good because they had to use first names instead of last names because the animals had names that were hard to rhyme with, like hippopotamus.

We love the Oi! Series. This one is funny because it has things they don’t want to sit on
