About the Author:
Alex Latimer lives in South Africa near the border of a national park. So when not writing or drawing, he spends his free time shooing baboons out of his lounge. He has written several picture books for children.
Review:
“With goofy, wide-eyed, stick-legged, plump-middled figures and just the sort of lunacy that could have sprung from an impish young imagination, this picture book makes for a cheerful, lightly subversive kids’ point-of-view rejoinder to the lesson of owning up for your actions.”
“Latimer has created offbeat digitally colored drawings brimming with quirky, diverse perspectives and hilarious details.”
“Hip and trendy but with a timeless theme, this is one enjoyable read.”
“Older siblings may sneak in while this one is being read aloud.”
