The Oddjob Man and the Thousand Mile Boots

A light, amusing yarn about a village oddjob man who decides to explore the world, but wants to be home in time to sleep in his own bed. Disaster strikes, however, when he wakes from his lunchtime nap in the jungle to find the magic boots he borrowed from the village giant have vanished. Biro's-quirky illustrations really make the book - the children were, typically, most fascinated by the giant's toe nail clippings that were as big as bicycle mudguards!
