That my copy of this book is dog-eared already only goes to show that Rosemary Wells still has her finger well and truly on the pulse of children's deeper concerns. The panic that Fritz struggles to conquer as he inadvertently unleashes an even messier creature than himself and the horror he feels as he cowers in the corner while he views the havoc wreaked ... is resolved - but Rosemary Wells' dry humour still leaves us with the twist in the tail that so appeals.
