' Think Alice in Wonderland for the modern age. Brilliant' . The Guardian' The most unpredictable, the most stimulating children' s book I have read for a very long time. Words, numbers, cliches, proverbs are taken literally, imaginatively or punningly in an enthralling and very funny dazzle of mental fireworks. ' The Sunday Times' An altogether remarkable book, one that should delight any bright child, and that will be no burden for a parent to read aloud. Related with unflagging wit and a marvellous sense of the fun to be had with words, this book will be enjoyed by children for years to come. ' Spectator
