"Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover's first "solo" album is one of the most delightful children's records ever made. It is a musical adaptation of artist Alan Aldridge and poet William Plomer's book of the same name. While Glover's work is flavored by the near-psychedelia of the illustrations, the spirit of the text is retained, to create an album that stands among the few truly successful musical adaptations of an existing story. He convened a great all-star lineup: Purple stalwarts David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes, future Rainbow frontman Ronnie James Dio, session stars Eddie Hardin and Tony Ashton, soul singer Jimmy Helms, Roxy Music's Eddie Jobson and John Gustafson, and 3/4 of funk-rock aspirants Fancy. The resultant album is a tremendous mishmash of styles, from folky balladeering to psychedelic whimsy, but leaning most heavily toward an early-'70s pop/rock vibe. The original vinyl packs 19 tracks; this edition adds one, plus a fabulous enhanced multimedia clip ("Love Is All")." (Dave Thompson, Allmusic)
