Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Wonderfully exuberant and completely delightful."--Kirkus, starred review

"A lively selection for preschool storytime and a great addition to most collections."--School Library Journal

"An unrepentantly joyful bit of whimsy, one that exudes a sense of magic on every page."--Publishers Weekly

"With this latest offering, Mahy places herself right up there with the nineteenth-century masters of the form, Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll."--Horn Book

"This innocently surreal and deceptively effortless depiction of play highlights the skills of two masters of the craft and is substantive cotton candy for reading aloud, moving along to, and enjoying."--Booklist

Reseña del editor:

“The man from the land of Fandango / Is given to dancing and dreams, / He comes in at the door like a somersault star / And he juggles with junkets and jam in a jar / And custards and caramel creams.”
 
Two children paint Mr. Fandango to life, and together the trio has a tremendous adventure with baboons and bisons, dinosaurs and kangaroos! Polly Dunbar’s textured, childlike illustrations reveal a playful imaginary world, and even the lines of type curve and tango. A bouncy, buoyant read-aloud for storytime.
