Jitterbug Jam - Hardcover
Bobo does not want to go to bed. He is sure there is someone hiding beneath it, just waiting to jump out and grab him. Bobo's grampa Boo-Dad knows all about those fearful creatures, when he was a youngster he had some pretty close encounters of his own. And he knows exactly what to do to scare the little terrors away. But Bobo is finding something out: some creatures are not as bad as they're made out to be. What if he makes up his own mind about the thing underneath his bed? What if he takes a chance - and sees what happens ...

Review:
"Contains the sort of skill and imagination that most illustrators can only dream about" (Nicolette Jones The Sunday Times)
"Alexis Deacon is one of the finest of a younger generation of English illustrators for children . . . His horned monsters seem distantly related to Maurice Sendak's wild things" (The Economist)
"The eerie, surreal world is matched perfectly with exquisite slightly old-fashioned illustrations. And, despite all the scares, this is a warm uplifting tale of a kinship against the odds" (Junior)
"Cute and endearing without being at all cloying or sentimental, this book is another bulls-eye for Deacon" (Ted Dewan Times Educational Supplement)
"A rich treat indeed" (Jack Ousbey Carousel)

"A rich treat indeed" (Jack Ousbey Carousel)
An outstanding, ingenious text which brilliantly explores preconception and prejudice (from both sides), illustrated with breathtaking verve and originality by acclaimed young artist, Alexis Deacon.
