About this title

Review:

"It's marvellous and it's cuckoo and it's that kind of veracity that's always made for good children's literature."―Maurice Sendak on Tomi Ungerer's work

"Tomi Ungerer has been proving the pen is mightier than the sword for six decades - [a] style marked by great originality of illustrative technique, and a use of language that refused to patronise his young readers."―John Dunnng, Dazed & Confused
