A brilliant new series with gloriously subversive heroes. When Kevin was a baby 'he was pink and sweet and good'... but not for long. His escapades drew uninhibited laughter from the whole of the infant class I teach but have also rarely returned to the shelves in the lower juniors. The scrapes that Kevin gets into are wonderfully depicted and the illustrations match the mood exactly allowing a mix which successfully treads the tightrope between the possible and the gleefully terrible!
