This is a children's book with a legitimate plot, fast paced story, and artwork that doesn't distract or confound. Alistair is a wonderful character with his actions lending great insight into his eccentric personality. He has a goal a motive and an excellent conflict. The dry humor in the tone and the excellent plot twist at the ending make it one of the few humorous, irony-filled books we have found (outside of Seuss.) The artwork is fabulous... brilliant colors and clearly drawn, creative characters.
