"Side-splittingly funny... hilarious... 10 out of 10"
- The Guardian |
|
On the little island of Great Kerfuffle, strange things are afoot....
Wait a minute, shouldn’t that be “strange things are feet”? Or “a foot is a strange thing”? |
|
|
Oh, never mind. I've got no idea what feet have to do with anything anyway. But what are we going to do about the badgers? That’s what I want to know.
All six Stinkbomb & Ketchup-Face books are illustrated by the phenomenally talented and utterly brilliant Mr David Tazzyman.
