Tony Ross again but as illustrator only this time giving his visual interpretation of a dozen or so reasons why Terry's mum might think that Tuesday will be terrible. Terry's imaginings become even more unlikely but Terrible Tuesday is all too real for mum. For me though it is Ross's imaginings -a witch's broomstick complete with saddle, handlebars, speedo and bell, for example - that lift the book above the ordinary.
