This looks adorable! I definitely need to get a copy for Baby X when he's older. Thanks so much for posting about it!
Just a quick point about the publisher - Templar Books isn't an imprint of Candlewick, it's actually an independent publisher in the UK that has a partnership with Candlewick in the US, so they publish a lot of each other's books - Emma Dodd is British, so I'm guessing it was published by Templar over here first and is now being published in the US, probably? (Templar is my UK publisher, which is why I'm being geeky about this!)
(ETA: although actually, thinking about it, I'm now wondering whether the originally-Templar books that are published by Candlewick in the US are published in a special Templar-named-imprint? In which case, everything you said was absolutely right, and please forget about my geeky "correction"! Sorry about that.)
The back of the book reads "templar books/an imprint of Candlewick Press", so I guess that's how the US editions are being marketed?
And I hope you like the book. It does read aloud well once you adjust for the changing metre, and it is absolutely snuggle-able. (Not certain whether the UK edition has the same metallic bells and whistles, though?)
