Using a muted colour palette Lane Smith brings out the hilarity of the protagonist?s tirade and the design of every spread further amplifies the visual impact of the book. Providing plenty of food for thought, this droll offering is definitely one young listeners will lap up and likely ask for second helpings. ? Red Reading Hub
