SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY

The Man from the Land of Fandango

By Margaret Mahy About · Illustrated by Polly Dunbar About

This magical, fantastical poem, full of Mahy’s signature wordplay and joie de vivre, is brilliantly matched by the humour and energy of Polly Dunbar’s illustrations. The man from the land of Fandango is coming to pay you a call! He wears a hat with a tassel and a polka-dot tie – and he juggles and bounces and dances with bears, bison, baboons, kangaroos and even dinosaurs. He’s wonderful and amazing – so watch out for him, and watch carefully – because he only appears every 500 years! •Acclaimed author/illustrator team, creators of Down the Back of the Chair (9781845076023) and Bubble Trouble (9781847801869) •Fantastical rhyming text, perfect for reading aloud, by Carnegie Medal winner, Margaret Mahy •Magical illustrations by Polly Dunbar
