Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
What happens when you feel so hurt by, and angry at, your family's stinging words that you tear right out the front door? In many a classic children's story, the protagonist just keeps on running--setting off on a thrilling, dangerous adventure that turns out to be a cautionary tale about the risks of that great big world out there and a reinforcement of the fact that they only safe place to be is back home with your family.

In William Steig's terrific new title, the young fireplug-shaped, spiky-haired hero named Spinky does not run away and learn his lesson. Instead, he hits the grass outside his home and collapses into the world's longest, most impermeable funk. Completely mute and physically unresponsive(his arm hangs "like a noodle" when his mother reaches for it), Spinky practically turns into an inanimate object. As the days go by, his older siblings "kept finding him in weird places" where they'd "try to pry a word out of him, or they'd just pass him by." In time, Spinky becomes so adept at his catatonia as to be able to completely ignore a parade marching by in the street.

Spinky Sulks is a highly resonant, realistic picture of childhood feeling. And yes, Spinky does come inside and talk to everyone in the end-on his own time, in his own way, because he's ready. --Jean Lenihan, Amazon.com
