Review:

Praise for Here Be Monsters: With superb illustrations and a lavishly imaginative plot, Here Be Monsters suggests that Roald Dahl might well have a 21st century successor - and that JK Rowling could have some competition on her hands. (The Big Issue)

Praise for Here Be Monsters: Snow's drawings suggest a Dickensian town, and his caricatures with their gormless faces and his lovingly rendered machinery make this book (now a website and film) as much fun to look at as it is to read. (Sunday Times)

Book Description:

A spectacularly illustrated story and introduction to how cars work.
