ZinderZunder
Illustrated by Chris Riddell
Max lives his love of the razzmatazz in his clothes and his tap-dancing but Mumzie (like's fragile porcelain doll' and like Kasper's mum in the earlier book) wants him to be more 'genteel' and stop 'bouncing around like a hyperactive grasshopper'. How can the magical ZinderZunder help Max and make Mumzie understand? The story is told almost minute by minute, covering twenty-four hours and the writing has the pace and style of its own razzmatazz, with its own tap-dancing, grasshopper energy. A showstopper of a performance.
