Quest for the Gloop

Helen Nicoll and Jan Pieńkowski
(Heinemann)
978-0434956418, Hardcover
5-8 Infant/Junior
Buy "Quest for the Gloop" on Amazon

A joyously eccentric author-artist collaboration! Pienkowski at his idiosyncratic best in garish, turbulent, dizzy space epic: the cartoon format uses every device in the book and a few more. My nine-year-old friends decided that it's best to take a page a day, slowly. When people come to write Ph.D.'s about the picture book (it'll come), this will be the place where the comic, the TV drama, the technicolour epic and the comedy of manners all collide.
