Melinda
and Donovan in tandem were bound to come up with something very special – and
they have in words and image that match so perfectly. ! This is a story in
which to use your imagination and just see where it takes you. What is Fuzzy
and what does he become? It is over to the reader and listener. And, if you are
reading it aloud to a group (or just one lucky child) and are familiar with
Margaret Mahy’s Bubble Trouble you will
find the same addictive rhythm that carries you through. I think Margaret would
have liked this very much! I can’t
wait to share it with a group.
