Works really well.
Worked immediately, no tuning required, no fuss. Would definitely buy again.

Lightweight but not thin and suitable for summer. Love the colours.
It looks tunic length on the photo, whereas it's actually normal shirt/blouse length. Good quality and condition.

Doesn’t work for UKchildren
2 of 5 found this helpful I was hoping to use this with children for the rhyming, but the language isn’t suitable. It’s basically an ‘amusing’ picture book based on forced rhyme. It was first published in New Zealand where, I assume, the language is used differently (ditto Australia) but it isn’t suitable for UK children.
Using “wonky” in the context of a prosthetic leg isn’t a good start, then showing a bird carrying his missing eye is fairly horrific for “winky”. I can only imagine the barrage of questions that would follow this image!
“Honky-Tonky” means nothing to children, so that doesn’t work at all. If you have to give in-depth explanations to explain the ‘joke’, it falls flat.
“Lanky” is all well and good, but not when you’re trying to build self-esteem and avoid labels based on appearance. They have enough of that to deal with.
I know children and adolescents love fart jokes (“stinky-dinky”) but it would cause so much distraction, it wouldn’t be worth it.
“Hanky-panky” is used to describe “getting up to mischief”, but In the UK, it’s much more associated with sexual shenanigans, so inappropriate. The same goes for “spunky”, which may be used in New Zealand to mean “good looking”, but is not in common use here and is, again, quite sexualised.
Shame. Maybe I should write my own.
