Lovely, Wonderful, Hilarious - the superlatives are endless, 5 Jan 2005

The illustrations have a real quirky, retro feel to them - with lots of beautiful, intricate detail - and there are many creative and innovative styles of presentation (gatefolds, sentences wandering creatively around the page etc.). The narrative is extremely witty - it works on many different levels, which will be appreciated by a very wide range of different ages: perfect for the attentive audience tucked up in bed, as well as the animated narrator perched on the chair.

I adore this book. As will you. Get two copies: one for your child's bookshelf, the other for your own!
