What does the Pageticker team say about The Cave Downwind of the Café?

Mikey Please serves up a gloriously grubby prequel packed with clever rhymes, vivid illustrations and enough bogey broth to make breakfast seem suspicious. Glumfoot is an endearing hero whose quick thinking and longing for something better give this silly monster adventure a warm, satisfying heart. Best shared aloud with children who enjoy gross out humour.
