Our Kid

“Ross’ cartoon-style illustrations with their characteristic shaky ink line and painterly watercolors evoke humor that reinforces the absurdity of the tale. A tall tale with lots of fun kidding around.” * Kirkus *“With a sympathetic protagonist and lovably quirky ink-and-watercolor illustrations, this picture book delivers plenty of read-aloud fun.” * Booklist *“Fantastic story… Ross’s off-beat use of language is both inspired and playful” * Red Reading Hub *“In Our Kid Tony Ross has produced yet another marvellously unique miracle” * The School Librarian *
