Down the Back of the Chair Bewertungen

Exuberant rhyming story celebrating the chaos of everyday life and the power of the imagination. || Its inventive language and detailed collage illustrations... will amuse children of three and over... This is a simple story but it zips along and ... the language really fizzes || The entertainment, humour, and exuberance of it all arises from what Dad finds... Mahy's text rollicks along in rhythm and rhyme, and Polly Dunbar's graphics are akin to a fireworks display on the page; words, phrases and pictorial images metaphorically pop up and explode like stardust over the double spreads || Mahy and Dunbar are a stunning team, the visual dexterity of one playing with the verbal twists and turns of the other.
