Customer Reviews

A lot of fun

The book starts with 26 sentences that cover almost the entire 2-pages with just a few spaces for illustration which gradually grows as the text goes down to 1 sentence at the end. There are 26 colourful monsters tormenting this poor painter who is absolutely determined to paint despite their antics. The illustrations and story are both quite fun, and beautifully arranged.

Incredibly Clever!

I loved this book. The whole concept is amazing and the pictures were dynamite. Tim is a genius writer!The book starts with a 26 word sentence, then a 25, then a 24 and so on. Hard to write, especially in such great rhyme!
