Amazing I have read the hole series and the illustrations are fab and the author is an inspiration and idol to younger children... I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly! Wie im ersten Teil merkt man auch wieder das hohe Maß an Kreativität, was in die Geschichte eingeflossen ist. Ich mag es sehr, dass vieles dadurch super abgedreht ist, aber gleichzeitig noch so einen Charme und Witz hat. Dieser Teil macht also genauso viel Spaß wie der vorherige. Look at this utter beauty . . . This book is EPIC -- Laura Ellen Anderson, bestselling author of Amelia Fang, on Peanut Jones and the Illustrated City

Laura Ellen Anderson, bestselling author of the Amelia Fang and Rainbow Grey series ‘Rob is hero-worshipped in my house and this book is going to blow my children's minds’ Insgesamt tragen wieder vor allem die Illustrationen dazu bei, dass die Szenen so schön wirken. Besonders die Verfolgungsjagd durch Paris und New York wurden dabei wunderbar bebildert und fangen die Spannung sowie den Charme der Städte gut ein. An wenigen Stellen fand ich die Schrift etwas zu dunkel für die dazugehörigen Bilder (oder umgekehrt), ansonsten harmonierten Bild- und Textebene toll miteinander. Look at this utter beauty. . . This book is EPIC' - Laura Ellen Anderson, author of the Amelia Fang and Rainbow Grey series He is the author of many highly, acclaimed, award-winning picture books, including Blown Away, GRRRRR!, Odd Dog Out, Sunk, Kevin, Show and Tell, Dog Gone and the Dinosaur Juniors series.

Another absolute smasher from Rob Biddulph!' - Louie Stowell, bestselling author of Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Being Good Thanks so much for your lovely message and for everything that you do with Book Wagon. Yourself and Bob are much cherished in our booky world and I personally really appreciate everything that you do. Peanut has yet to find her missing dad, but is pleased that post-it note messages have started appearing in her lunchbox again; she is convinced they are from her dad and that he is trying to tell her something. The characters are very 2D, there are a lot of cliche moments and turns of phrases which makes reading kind of dull at points. The comedy is a bit hit and miss. Another absolute smasher from Rob Biddulph! Gorgeously illustrated and a joyfully escapist adventure, where art is centre stage!
