—— JuniorA glorious antidote to boneheaded machismo . . . and a visual feast of wit and boundless imagination. A gem

—— tBK MagazineThis is a fabulous book, told with great humour which appeals directly to youngsters and adults alike.
Nick Sharratt's simple and effective illustrations...add enormously to the appeal of Kes Gray's words.
A brilliantly funny book that will strike familiar chords with both parents and children.
