Gecko dreams of being a big star.

Lovely books, great illustrations and good messages

I liked that gecko thought it was another gecko singing in the canyon when in fact it was his ecco. I would recommend this book to a friend.

On the sunny island this gecko calls home,it's always the goldy show.

Really fun! Loved the colourful pictures

I like this book because the funny part was when the echo came back.

He could hear his echo. It was good

Wonderful illustrations and interesting story.

I just love geckos

A gecko who plays the guitar and doesn't want to give up the limelight. Engaging and humourous.

I love books by this author and illustrator and this one was just as good. The idea of a gecko playing guitar and singing was so funny!

Pictures were wonderful in this book and the kids loved viewing each page and making up what they thought might happen.

Funny story about a little gecko who likes to be noisy but soon realises it’s better to share the limelight. A little long for small children but quite engaging with lots of funny noises throughout. “I like it when Goldy did a big burp.”

The book was funny because the Gecko could not sing properly and was annoying the other Geckos

I liked his funny songs and the way he didn't give you it in trying to do the right thing when he knew he was being annoying.

I like how it ends!

My favourite part of this story was when Goldy heard his echo and he was kind to others. I would recommend this story book
