Review
`The looping rhymes are brought to life by creative partner Dave McKean - to call him "the illustrator" would be doing him a disservice' --The Children's Bookseller
`An unusual picture book that pays testament to the power of the imagination'
--The Bookseller

--Books for Keeps
`There are few picturebook-makers as cool as Dave McKean and Neil Gaiman, and their latest collaboration is wild . . . distortions and magnifications make the images strange and dark, rivaling the text for energy and verve'

Review
`Sometimes scientifically accurate and sometimes surreal, over-arching all is the movement, rhythm and pace achieved through the combination of text and illustration. Provoking questions about what it is to be free in thought and form, this is a work of unique luminescence that may well change the way hair is looked at forever'
