(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Dave McKean. The gods have abandoned their work with "still much making to be done." Little Ben is first to notice; soon he, Sue, and Harry are dreaming up creatures and piecing them together--first a mouse and a bird, then a more problematic snake, a terrifying wolf, etc. McKean expertly matches his angular figures to Almond's children, with their perilous mix of innocence, naiveté, and power.
