A lovely, silly story and once again the well written words and delightful illustrations go together beautifully.
Bookbag
Alex T. Smith is a rising star in children’s books. The text is ideal for early readers, combining simple language with humour and page-turning entertainment. It is his skill in creating drama out of bright comedy that makes the book such a compulsive read.
Books For Keeps
Quirky illustrations and plenty of humour.
Metro
Sharp, knowing and sophisticated: a total delight.
Irish Times
Illustrated throughout in a quirky, elegant, 1950s style, in a distinctive palette of red, white and black. Smith’s off-the-wall humour and sense of fun will keep both children and their parents entertained from beginning to end. An utterly charming book for emerging readers.
