Traction Man?wearing combat boots, battle pants, and his warfare shirt?comes in a box, but very quickly finds the way into the imagination of his lucky boy owner. This superhero searches for the Lost Wreck of the Sieve as the boy makes a game of doing the dishes, and later in the bathtub, he conquers the Mysterious Toes that are stealing his pet, the brave little Scrubbing Brush. These are just a few of the action-packed adventures played out by the boy and his new toy that may not be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but can vanquish all manner of villains lurking around the house. Mini Grey?s story in words and pictures is an irresistible invitation to the private world of a child?s play.

Praise for The Very Smart Pea and the Princess-to-Be:

?A rib-tickling U.S. debut for Grey, with plenty of sight gags to complement the chatty narrative.??Kirkus Reviews

?The Very Smart Pea and the Princess-to-Be delivers an entertaining spin and a great deal of visual wit.??The Horn Book

Super Fun read

Traction Man is Here is so fun I had to read it to my grandson 5 times one day! The illustrations are clever, colorful and so interesting you notice something different every time you read it.


A Winner!

My boys (ages 5 & 2.5) have enjoyed this book so much that we quicky hurried back to the bookstore hoping that Mini Grey had written a sequel! A definite winner!


Worth it for the wardrobe alone!

This book was recommended to me by a fellow mom of boys. My son (age 4) enjoys this book, and we parents get a kick out of the more subtle humor that goes over the heads of preschoolers.


LOVE this book!!!

This is a great book for boys or girls. It is funny, smart and very engaging for kids. Plus the illustrations are beautiful. This is a great gift for any child 2 and up. Don't limit yourself to non-readers or early readers - this book (and any beautifully illustrated and written picture book) is a wonderful addition to the library of any primary-school aged child.

You will read this book over and over

My 4 and 6 year old love this book. We checked it out at the library so many times, we finally decided we needed to add it to our collection. Humorous and interesting enough so that the parents don't mind reading it a million times.
