David Melling's new book is just as entertaining and funny as The Tale of Jack Frost... -- The Sunderland Echo From the glow in the dark cover, colourful illustrations and bizarre characters, this is a book for young children that invites interaction. An interesting mixture of text and wordless picture sequences would stimulate children to tell sections of the story in their own words. -- Writeaway.org ...attractive and amusing... -- Writing Magazine 'This book is a joy, even without the gimmicks of the fold-out ghost tower and the glow-in-the-dark cover, and David Melling's many fans, will relish the adventurous typography.' -- The School Librarian
