Description

About the Author When John Condon was a child, he was always drawing, so his mother and most of his teachers assumed he would become an illustrator or a designer. He did become a designer, and now he’s an author, too. John Condon was born and raised in London, but he currently lives on its outskirts where it’s a little leafier. Matt Hunt is an illustrator whose work includes Would You Dare? written by Min Flyte. He works in a variety of media, using paints, pens, crayons, and digital design to create his artwork, and loves to draw anything and everything. Matt Hunt lives in England with his wife.

Most children’s books are bad; this one is good

Good writing, with good repetition. Very nice illustrations. And an actually interesting plot with a fun ending. Way better than the vast majority of children’s books we get from the library each week.
