PS
Sick-in-bed Matty is disconsolate: he has to stay home while his family attends the Queen's birthday party. But then the crocodile under his bed flies him to a tropical island where there is another party (for the King--of the jungle). Kerr's lighthearted story taps into a deep well of childhood emotions. Vibrant colored-pencil illustrations help propel the story.
