Publisher Review

Jon Klassen strikes gold again with this hilarious follow-up to I Want My Hat Back. * Gurgle * Another funny tale from bestselling Jon Klassen * Woman's Way * One of the funniest books of the year * Spectator * A terrific story -- Francesca Simon * S Magazine * Winsome tale of rough justice * Sunday Telegraph * Jon Klassen's classy formalised illustrations, with their limited palette of black and autumnal colours, instantly win fans with every book. His humour, here, is also black. . . Klassen's expression and design are minimal, but nevertheless there is character and narrative drive, suspense, menace, morality and a twist. -- Nicolette Jones * The Sunday Times * A submarine tale of hubris and death. All great picture books - Where the Wild Things Are, The Tiger Who Came To Tea, The Gruffalo - have their moments of darkness. But nothing as dark as the ending of this masterpiece. It has the world's funniest ever drawing of a crab pointing -- Frank Cottrell Boyce * The New Review, Observer * Elegant books * Wall Street Journal * Certain to be a bestseller. * The Bookseller * Lends itself to many retellings * Irish Times * Glorious illustrations convey a wide range of emotions in the glint of an eye and the moral is a good talking point. * Daily Mail * This is as funny and minimalist as its predecessor. * The Guardian * I will only say that Klassen cleverly covers theft, suspicion, crime, punishment, guilt and death without using a single word. * Inis magazine * This is perfectly pared-down storytelling which builds the tension and the outrageous denouement with exquisite timing. (Librarian's choice) * Reading Zone * A cautionary tale told through subversive and sumptuously illustrated visual humour * CBI recommended reads of 2012 * Thrillingly original and subtle in its approach to storytelling * We Love This Book * this book will have youngsters questioning what actually happening, and invites the reader to look again -- Vanessa Lewis * Bookseller * the silence of the last page is deafening, and this book will encourage lots of conversation in the classroom -- Marilyn Brocklehurst * Bookseller * appealing as much to adults as children * Bookseller *
