A brilliant and playful parody of an action-hero drama by quirky writer Mini Grey
Junior
A glorious antidote to boneheaded machismo . . . and a visual feast of wit and boundless imagination. A gem
Carousel
Another brilliant picture book from Mini Grey, whose sense of humour and adventure, love of the language of the toy box and understanding of childhood fantasy is matched by her pictorial invention and a skill at characterisation that can make even a scrubbing brush appealing
Books for Keeps
I can't recommend Traction Man Meets Turbo Dog highly enough . . . A witty and surreal picture book that's suitable for both reading aloud and first attempts at reading alone. It's slightly subversive in a Toy Story way, but is absolutely and utterly British. Don't miss it
