A tour de force
Reviewed in the United States on 21 June 2017Verified Purchase
Greg Pizzoli's lucid text, compelling light-hearted illustrations and serendipitous sidebars make this book hard to put down--even for adult readers. A tour de force for its projected readership, which should find it even more an adventure than his earlier masterful "Tricky Vic" which charmed our grandchildren, now 9 and 14 years old.
