Graphic Novels

Using a playful phonetic language first invented by William Steig in his now classic 1968 book CDB! - but which in today's world of text message and internet shorthand feels uncannily contemporary - Young and Avillez tell a different story on each page of this collection of illustrations stuffed to brim with humour and cleverness. Brought to life in Avillez's distinctively ebullient and droll style are precocious pets and pet-owners, iconic architecture, and startlingly intrepid anthropomorphic rats.
