Reviews
"Another extraordinary and wonderful adventure with Mr Benn... McKee's illustrations are superb, full of movement and humour, bold blocks of colour and dizzying perspectives dazzling to the eye. Mr Benn looks as fresh as he did when he first began his extraordinary adventures." -- Andrea Reece * LoveReading4Kids *
