OK, so you think that clowns (in full costume) and knights (in armour) are a bit, well, ordinary? Hold on to your hat, because we're now going to meet zombies who dance (and do mending), purple goblins, grey-haired villains, a mysterious box, unusual pets, miniature giants, vampire mermaids, a bathroom of gold (beware the cold seat), tea-loving monsters, scary ghosts who do the cooking, cute little elves, wingless dragons, evil fairies, big-headed monkeys, baby wizards and very old trolls. Convinced? I thought you might be.
The words are from [[:Category:B C R FegabFegan|B C R Fegan]] with illustrations by [[:Category:Lenny Wen|Lenny Wen]]. We've encountered this wonderful combination [[Henry and the Hidden Treasure by B C R Fegan and Lenny Wen|before]] and all the magic is still there. Wen's illustrations are big, bright and bold, but most importantly, they ''add'' to the words and you'll spot something new every time you read the book.
Most children's picture book teach them valuable lessons and sometimes I wonder why authors feel that this is so essential. ''Don't Ever Look Behind Door 32'' is different. It's not going to encourage your child to share his toys, be polite or eat his greens: it's just glorious, silly fun, because having fun is a good thing too, you know? And these are the sort of books which children return to again and again for that very reason. I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
