This book had me rolling with laughter. The characters, for the most part, were relatively likeable. A few were slightly annoying, but that just gave the book extra character. All of the stories flowed well and the book itself was easy to read in a short amount of time. I would be interested in reading more from this author.

A surreal, fantastical story with superb illustrations. A beautifully designed book.
