Recenzii

Guaranteed to make children of seven and up wriggle with glee
The multi-layered novel is great fun for children - but also effectively bridges the gap with adults, providing a thoroughly enjoyable read
With superb illustrations by Chris Riddell, this is a superbly written story with a wonderfully compassionate heroine who deserves our respect.
Sheer verbal delight shines through in this combination of political and environmental fable and poetic parable
A short little fantasy, told with gusto, interspersed with humorous verses and some rather good illustrations by Chris Riddell
