Excellent and unique - By: vikingraider, 30 Mar 2007 
This is one of the all time favourite books of our two children currently aged 4 & 6. Whenever it's Christmas or snowing & time for a bedtime story, you just know this will be the one they drag out for you to "read". I say read because there are no words - the story is 100% toldin pictures & I think that is the involvement they enjoy as we talk about what is going onin each scene.
A magical story, illustratedin a style that matches the story being conveyed very well, guaranteed to draw youin regardless of your age!
How to traumatize your child! - By: , 23 Jan 2006 
This book is wonderful for adults, certainly not a child's choice. You make a friend while your parents are fast asleep (dead?). You invite him into your house, dress himin your father's clothes, he plays around with your parents' things (putting lights on & squishing fairy liquid bottles (so many symbols!!), takes you on a fantastic trip & he finishes up melting! Get prepared for talking about the soul flying away to heaven... or create an alternate ending. My daughter hates this book! I quite like it...
