REVIEWS

“A lovely and charming book […] a summertime gift for all children!”
KOLBRUN BERGTHORSDOTTIR, KILJAN/NATIONAL TV

“Terrifically raucous reading for children!”
THORGEIR TRYGGVASON, KILJAN/NATIONAL TV

“Thorarinn doesn’t disappoint with his writing in this book no less than his others. He’s wildly funny and sincere. … Sigrun’s illustrations are genius… the images spur the imagination and some prompt questions. …
Together Sigrun and Thorarinn bring the story to life for young readers letting us all laugh together, because there’s nothing funnier than green, blue and pink smoke streaming out of someone’s backside.”
