When silly Billy's beetle escapes from its matchbox home the hunt is on to track him down, and before long a host of characters including the owner of a very sniffy dog, a polar bear (who just joins the search for fun), a brass band and an elephant get in on the act.
Clear, action-packed illustrations and easy-to-follow, sly, witty text make this hilarious and colourful book a joy for young readers, drawing them in to the adventure and encouraging active little minds to join in the search themselves. As smart as ever, Inkpen wins again with a tale to make you smile. (Ages 2 to 5) --Susan Harrison
