Hector Mumbly's (Dave Cooper's) debut book for children is a lushly illustrated, fun and silly story with a tall tale that maybe isn't so tall after all. The story is a solid one, though it is not an unfamiliar or daring plot.

If you are familiar with Dave Cooper's comics and paintings, you know to expect a rich color palette and loose, exciting linework. Children will surely love to find all the details hidden in the illustrations, and the ridiculous-sounding words will keep them listening. Grown-ups will want to stare at the pages long after reading the words. This is a book of beautiful artwork that will fit well on any illustration-lover's shelf, regardless of whether they have children of their own or not.

We got this book as a gift for my son's 3rd birthday and it's now both of our favorites.

The story is goofy and fun, the pages filled with Dave's fantastic illustrations. They're detailed and wacky and you're always finding new amazing little things in them.

It's just the right length for bed time and he plays with the act of reading throughout. It's a really fun, interactive book that just as fun for an adult to flip through as a kid.

Totally fantastic book, great print quality, highly recommended.

This book was as described and came faster that stated in the order. I was very pleased.

I love Dave Cooper's "adult" comics work and his beautiful fine art.

With this his first childrens' book, he has created a beautiful and endearing story. I hope there are more children's book to come from Mr. Mumbly.

Supergood! The story and art by Dave Cooper's mentor Hector Mumbley is every bit as good as his protege's. Charming and sweet, and incredibly well drawn; I got this for ME, but I know kids will love it, too.
