A perfectly paced, deadpan tale full of visual humour from an award-winning team. * The Bookseller Children's Buyer's Guide *
The witty and extraordinary story is so simple yet perfect. It's got all the words it needs and the text works beautifully with the mellow coloured, gorgeous illustrations (with important details!).
