Description

A fantastical illustrated book where mice chase cats, penguins live in the jungle, cars fly and aeroplanes float!

Its a time-honoured childrens game catching out the grown-ups when theyre telling lies. Ataks just given it a new twist, using lots of classic tall tales, and adding a few new ones as well. By seeing whats obviously wrong, kids will learn whats really right.

This luxuriously varnished book is beautifully drawn by Atak, one of Germanys top illustrators.

Reviews

It's quite frankly topsy turvy but if your kids love a good belly laugh at the thought of a world where everything's flipped on its head and roles are interchanged, they'll love it to bits. * Read It Daddy *
