Reviews

'A lively, entertaining and humorous book, stuffed with ingenious ideas and endearing characters' The Times 'There's something wonderfully old-fashioned and charming about the "short, fat, furry" creatures. They are simple without being simplistic, innocent without being naive, civic minded for its own sake' Irish Examiner 'The rubbish collecting eco message has a new resonance' Angels and Urchins
