Review
The partnership between author and illustrator is almost perfect, their resourcefulness in making such absurdity so natural almost the equal of the boy Tom in his creation of the two-seater, jam-powered frog. * The Times * A perfect combination of words and illustration, it's everything a picture book should be. -- Anna Carey * Irish Times * Rarely has a reissue been more timely than this reminder that learning comes in many forms, and that childhood play is never a waste of time. -- Julia Eccleshare * The Guardian * A triumph from an unerringly eccentric double act. -- Kate Kellaway * The New Review (The Observer) * The duo's 1975 riotous tribute to the triumphs of 'fooling around' * Daily Telegraph * The trademark tremulous contour lines of Quentin Blake's colourful illustrations inject energy and excitement into this madcap adventure. * Children's Books Ireland Recommended Read *
Book Description
A classic tale of the triumph of fooling-around fun over humourless no-nonsense adult disapproval!
