I love this book. Quirky humour and absurd, but brilliant illustrations and a funny storyline.



So if two goldfish = one father, then one rabbit = one gorilla mask? Math

I wouldn't have thought that another book, even by the same author/illustrator team, could be as wacky and unique and different and interesting as The Wolves in the Walls, but Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean have proved me wrong! This book is just as wacky and unique and different and interesting - if not more so on all counts! AND this one was written quite a few years before The Wolves in the Walls. I was very partial to the goldfish, and missed them when they were no longer part of the story. My

This was adorable. And funny! I would recommend this for children of all ages.

The narration by Neil Gaiman himself is fantastic

I bought this a few years back, hoping that one day I could share Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean work with my nephew. Apparently my sister also had the same idea and already bought her son one.As thumbed through the pages, I couldnt help by enjoy McKeans art. As much as I enjoy Gaimans work, it is McKean mixed media mastery that stands out. It is truly a feast for the eyes.
