The Rain Door by Russell Hoban

A young boy's fantastic and fantastical trip of discovery beyond the real world ... with a horn that goes GAHOOGA!
In an imaginative and thought-provoking adventure about the other side of reality, Harry has a lion, a dinosaur, a horn that goes GAHOOGA and lots of rain to contend withWill he be able to get back home, and how? Quentin Blake's easily identifiable watercolour and pen art beautifully translate the text with coloured swirls of fascination and magic. * Buzz Words *
