Caleb's Cab Bewertungen

A French tale with a twist of Dahl delights * The Times *
'A splendidly surreal cab-driving caper, full of screeching swerves. Kids crammed into cash machines, Franglais alternate dimensions, spendthrift mothers swilling sherry and a brave boy in a fake moustache; this is a vanished-parent story with a difference, boasting Sylvain Chomet's unique, delicately menacing illustrations. * Imogen Russell Williams, children's critic Metro and Guardian *
From bizarre beauty treatments to living cash dispensers, there's loads to enjoy, with a touch of Roald Dahl and a hint of slapstick coming together beautifully. * Den of Geek *
"Caleb's Cab is a triumph on many levels. It is a visually arresting picture book and an exciting adventure story for children, but it is also a stimulating social commentary for older readers. Despite its obvious depth, Caleb's Cab is extremely accessible and very funny in places; a perfect book for sharing and for re-reading." * Books for Keeps *
"Glossy pages and plenty of gorgeous colour illustrations make Sally and Sylvain Chomet's Caleb's Cab a good reading experience, even apart from the story. [...] This wacky, well-produced story is a treat for the nine=plus." * Newbury Weekly News *
[...] a sumptuously illustrated dystopian caper [...] Original, dark and screwball, this is the first of a two-parter. * Observer *
