Judge … creates a wonderful adventure that even the youngest children will love … the illustration work is expertly handled by Mark Wickham. And what a treasure! The use of colour and line perfectly suit the story and create drama in and of themselves … overall, this picture book is a huge success

Elise (age 5)  thought this book was funny.  She thought it was good and, every couple of nights, asked for it to be read
