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!
