This one’s for older children who will appreciate the rugged characters that make up this fearsome band. They’re grubby and rough but have their own redeeming characteristics and work out a way to have a good time and make the most of their talents. By the illustrator of The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew it was None of his Business.
