This book is full of the wild imaginative details and comic-strip energy that define all Grey's picture books. -- Korky Paul * S Magazine, Sunday Express *
Everything Mini Grey writes is an instant hit and Traction Man is no exception . . . She is a one-off and so is he * Observer *
Grey has produced a splendidly tongue-in-cheek picture book . . . Funny, satirical and inventive . . . Traction Man is a delight * The Sunday Times *
Visual and verbal wit abound so children and parents will find much to enjoy * The Bookseller *
Children will trill and giggle with recognition at this genuinely funny artist * Independent *
This delightful, funny and, in its way, touching book, again demonstrates Mini Grey's facility for looking at things from a different angle * Carousel *
